About German Wines

German wine differs from wines of other countries — it’s light, lively and fruity, thanks to Germany’s unique climatic and geological conditions. With the exception of Saale-Unstrut and Sachsen in the east, the wine-growing regions are concentrated in the south and southwestern part of Germany. They are among the most northerly wine regions in the world and straddle the border between the humid Gulf Stream climate of the west and the dry Continental climate of the east. The long growing season and moderate summer temperatures bring forth filigree wines that are relatively low in alcohol. The diversity of German wine stems from the many soil types and grape varieties — there is no “uniform” type or style of German wine — and this diversity is reflected in Germany’s 13 wine-growing regions.
