Germany
View wines from specific regions: View popular grape types: |
Viticulture in Germany dates back to the days of the Roman Empire (the first and second century AD), and while German winemakers are not as prolific as those in France, Italy or Spain, the wines they do produce are held in high regard. Germany is known primarily for Riesling, considered by many to be the most noble of white wine grapes. Because of Germany’s cooler climate, most of the wines it produces — and nearly all that it exports — are white wines. Riesling is, of course, the most widely planted grape, followed by Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner and Gewürtztraminer. Red varietals are not completely abandoned, however, and Germany produces some terrific Pinot Noirs, most of which are labeled as Spätburgunder. A majority of German wine comes from its western half, along the valleys of the Rhine River and its tributaries. The top wine regions in the country include Mosel, Rheinhessen and Pfalz. |
Red Wine
Top red wine varietals: |
Red wines come in all different varieties and are often classified by texture, whether it be light-, medium- or full-bodied.As the texture scale rises from light to full, you can generally expect scales for color (from light red to dark red), ageability (from wines to drink right away to wines that should be aged), and tannin level (from low to high) to rise concurrently. Also, a wine’s texture usually dictates the foods with which to pair it. Light-bodied reds include Beaujolais, Chianti and some Pinot Noirs; they generally pair well with meatier fish (salmon and tuna) and chicken. Medium-bodied wines include some Bordeaux (Crus Bourgeois), and Syrah, Malbec and Merlot made in a lighter style; they often pair well with game birds, veal and pork chops. Full-bodied wines, such as Barolos, high-end Bordeaux, most Cabernet Sauvignons and many Zinfandels, pair well with heavier meats such as steak, lamb and game. |
