The home of Riesling — and increasingly, of world-class Pinot Noir.
Germany's vineyards follow its rivers at the northern edge of wine growing. The cool climate gives wines with vivid acidity and moderate alcohol. Labels can show ripeness levels (Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese), while 'trocken' means dry.
