German Wines
Germany is one of the world's most underrated wine countries, and those in the know consider its finest bottles among the greatest wines ever made. Best known for the breathtaking Riesling wines produced on the steep slate slopes of the Mosel, Rheingau and Nahe, German wine spans an extraordinary range of styles from bone dry and searingly mineral to lusciously sweet and age-worthy, all with a precision and elegance that is entirely their own. Do not overlook the reds either, with Pinot Noir, known locally as Spätburgunder, producing some surprisingly refined and silky bottles in the warmer regions of Baden and the Pfalz.
