German Wine Information

German wines especially the German white wines have a wonderful fruity quality to them. As a rule they tend to be fruitier and sweet as they are picked later in the season. We call them “late harvest wines”. This makes them ideal for dessert wines. Different categories of German wines include Kabinett, Spatlese, and Auslese Beerenauslese Trockenbeerenauslese, Eiswein a.k.a. “Icewine”. German sparkling wine is called “Sekt”. German Rieslings are the most sought after white wines in the world.

An interesting trait of German wineries is that most German grapes are harvested in October and November, long after the harvest has been completed in other European countries. People who love the German varieties, German Riesling in particular understand that the longer the grape stays on the vine, the riper they become. Because of this singular factor, German wines generally offer more aroma and more flavor than similar varieties produced elsewhere.
