Wine with Leslie: divine German wines, including a €10 Riesling that goes down well
German wines are experiencing a renaissance at present
This week’s column was inspired by another book, The Wines of Germany by Anne Krebiehl MW, which is part of the excellent Infinite Ideas Classic Wine Library. Krebiehl does a masterful job of explaining the complexities of German wine laws and the subtleties to be found in the different sites in the 13 different wine regions
Germany is the world’s 14th largest wine producer, the second-largest producer of Pinot Noir and the largest producer of Riesling. Given the joys to be found in good Riesling and Pinot Noir it is worth spending some time studying this cool northern wine country.
