31 Days of German Riesling

Talk to a sommelier, or a member of the wine trade, and it’s likely that they’re happy to wax lyrical about Riesling. Its ability to age, its amazing versatile food pairing potential, the intensity of flavour it can deliver and the value for money that it can offer, all make a compelling argument for these wines..

In the vineyards, Riesling delights cool-climate winemakers, as it is resistant to frost, hardy and dependably produces fairly high yields of high quality. It is also noted for its ability to reflect the soil on which it was grown, leading to exciting experimentation with site selection. Riesling also has a high natural acidity, which helps produce wines with enormous ageing potential, although, when the grapes have been ripened sufficiently, the wines are equally delicious in their youth.

This July, we’re taking part in the ’31 Days of German Riesling’, the perfect excuse to crack open a bottle or two of this delicious wine. See below for inspiration from our excellent German producers. View Germany's vineyard map.
