Grands vins - Germany

With a vineyard already predating J.-C., it now extends over 100 000 hectares through 13 wine-producing regions (anbaugebiete) dividing their districts (bereiche).
Mainly found in the West and the South of the country, the vineyard marries the curves of the valley’s river therefore showing the importance of the closeness of a stream in the blooming of the vineyard.

The most wide-spread vines are the Riesling and the Müller-thurgau for the whites, the Spätburgunder (pinot noir) for the red as well as the Blauer portugieser.
Slandered for the longest times, german wines are just now getting back their recognition, appearing on the top great wines list of the world.
