Synopsis
Germanymight be the most misunderstood wine country on the planet. Hobbled by anidiotic wine law, labelling conventions that are nothing but quixotic tonon-German speakers and still settled with a residual Liebfraumilch image,German wine is confusing, even for experts. But despite this baggage Germanytoday is a vibrant, creative and progressive wine country at the very heart ofEurope. Wine is made in thirteen regions across four degrees of latitude. AnneKrebiehl MW, an acknowledged expert on German wine, showcases the new Germany(with far more clean-cut labelling) and gets rid of a few misconceptions andprejudices in the process. The wines of Germany explains Germany's intrinsicregionality and puts the country into context in terms of its climate andgeography. Krebiehl explains why rivers and slopes are so important to Germanviticulture and puts it in an economic context. She analyses Germany'sunusually fragmented producer base and its challenging climate and vintagevariation before examining in detail the wines of today's German regions., This historic wine nation at the heart of Europe produces a diverse range of wines - Riesling above all, but also compelling Sp tburgunder, aka Pinot Noir, and Silvaner, amongst others. Yet in the minds of many it is still associated with mass-produced sweetish plonk. But following a bruising twentieth century, German wine over the past thirty years has experienced a renaissance. In The wines of Germany , master of wine Anne Krebiehl takes us with her on a journey through vineyards clustered along the country's many winding rivers to uncover this new world of German wine. She begins with a thorough explanation of German wine law - a subject so complicated that it can alienate all but the most dedicated wine enthusiast - taking a historical perspective and showing how current moves to review the law could considerably simplify it. It is only right that Riesling, the light and aromatic grape synonymous with this country, gets a chapter all to itself, as does Sp tburgunder. Plantings of this grape doubled between 1990 and 2010 to make Germany the third-largest grower worldwide. As an enthusiast for Sekt, Krebiehl is keen to explain how far from the tank-produced wines of past decades this sparkling wine has come, with artisan winemakers across the regions returning to the old methods to create bottle-fermented Sekts of quality. Taking the thirteen regions in turn, Krebiehl explains the unique history, geography and climate of each, presenting a selection of some of her favourite producers. From the famed steep slopes of the Mosel, where Riesling reaches its pinnacle of expression, through the largest region, Rheinhessen, home of the infamous Liebfraumilch, to less well-known regions such as Saale-Unstrut and Sachsen, Krebiehl paints a vivid picture of each region's unique offering, inspiring readers to begin their own explorations., This historic wine nation at the heart of Europe produces a diverse range of wines - Riesling above all, but also compelling Sp tburgunder, aka Pinot Noir, and Silvaner, amongst others.
