About Germany

Germany stands out on the global wine stage for its refined, cool-climate wines and deep-rooted winemaking heritage. The country’s 13 designated Anbaugebiete (wine regions), including world-renowned names like Mosel, Rheingau, and Pfalz, stretch across sun-kissed river valleys and steep slate slopes that shape the character of each vintage.

Germany’s signature grape is Riesling, producing styles from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, with hallmark acidity and mineral finesse. In recent years, Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) has surged in international acclaim, particularly from Baden and Ahr, showcasing delicate red fruit, earthy complexity, and age-worthiness.

Other key varieties include:

  • Silvaner – soft, herbal whites from Franconia

  • Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) and Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc) – elegant and food-friendly

  • Müller-Thurgau – light and floral, historically Germany’s most planted grape

German viticulture is increasingly focused on sustainability, with many estates embracing organic and biodynamic farming. The VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), a prestigious association of elite wineries, leads the way with a classification system based on vineyard quality rather than sugar content.

Whether you’re sipping Riesling along the Mosel River or enjoying Pinot in Baden’s rolling hills, Germany offers a diverse and ever-evolving wine experience rooted in precision, purity, and a profound respect for nature.
