Wines of Germany
It's world famous as the homeland of Riesling, but did you know that Germany is home to nearly 135 different grape varieties? From lesser-known varieties such as Albalonga and Zweigeltrebe to well-known favourites such as Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Noir. With 66.9% of Germany's vineyards dedicated to producing knock-out white wine, and 11.5% to Pinot Noir, it's never been a more exciting time for German wine production.
We've put together two cases - one is a mixed case to highlight the variety Germany offers so you can discover the range of flavours, and why these wines really are for all reasons! The other is an all-Riesling case that showcases what Germany's signature grape can do.

Mosel Valley
Germany's wine growing regions are mostly concentrated in the south where the weather is slightly warmer. The diversity of German wine stems from the many soil types and grape varieties found throughout Germany's 13 wine-growing regions, of which the beautiful Mosel Valley is probably the most famous.
