White Wine Guru

With some of the steepest and northernmost vineyards in the world, as well as the coolest climate, Germany does not stand out as the ideal growing region for grapes. And yet, the country is famous for producing some of the best white wines in the world, mainly Riesling. Delicate, age-worthy, intense and elegant are the typical descriptions for wines from Germany. Note that “sweet” is not a common descriptor because the idea that most German wines are sweet is just not so. More recently, the country is exporting value wines that are easy to drink, extremely food friendly and, luckily for some, containing labels that are easier to read!
