German wines
at the ALCRON
Despite occupying the northernmost territory in
Europe for growing grapes, Germany is one of the
most important wine producers on the continent. The
roots of German viticulture reach as far back as the
Roman period. Recent years have witnessed a shift
away from the over-production of sweet wines towards
dry wines, which are currently more popular, particularly
in connection with fine cuisine. Naturally, we have
again prepared a tasting menu for you and after this
theoretical preparation you can apply your new
knowledge in our restaurant.
The current German wine-making law in effect since 1971 is among the
most elaborate of its kind in Europe. This regulation divides Germany
into thirteen wine regions: Ahr, Hessische Bergstrasse, Mittelrhein, Nahe,
Rheingau, Rheinhessen, Pfalz, Mossel-Saar-Ruwer, Franken, Würtemberg,
Baden, Saale-Unstrut, and Sachsen (Saxony). Each region grows distinct
grapes that reflect a specific “terroir” influenced by local climatic conditions,
soil composition, and other factors that have an impact on the final taste
qualities and expression of the wine.
German quality classifications divide wines according to the sugar content
of the must, measured in degrees called “Oechsle,” into the following
categories: Deutscher Tafelwein, Landwein, and Qualitätswein bestimmter
Anbaugebiete or QbA, for which the addition of sugar is permitted.
Additional levels of quality under the category Qualitätswein mit Prädikat
or QmP, include Kabinet, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese,
Trockenbeerenauslese or TBA, and Eiswein.
Tasting menu:
Riesling Trocken QbA 2006 Villa Wolf, J. L. Wolf Winery, Pfalz region
This incredibly light and refreshing aperitif wine comes from vineyards
that are between 20 and 35 years old. The local soil is stony and mixed
with a layer of loess particles that wonderfully absorb moisture and
heat. The vineyards are sheltered by highland hills whose regular breezes
provide the circulation of warm air.
This Riesling will be served in combination with chicory and marinated
king prawns.
Riesling Rheingau QbA 2006, Robert Weil Winery, Rheingau region
This wine with an expressive acidity and a remarkable persistence is
made from grapes grown in 35-year-old vineyards featuring volcanic
soil with clayey particles. Grapes are picked by hand and the wine is
aged in stainless tanks.
The wine will be accompanied by poached sea bass with risotto and
Riesling emulsion.
Riesling Trocken QbA 2006, Dönnhoff Winery, Nahe region
An opulent and magnificently rounded wine from 60-year-old vineyards
in a region featuring volcanic soil with loess particles. The wine was
fermented in large oak casks until the following May.
This Riesling will be served with the main course of monkfish, carrot
puree, spiced lemon, and veal demi-glace.
The final two wines on our tasting menu come from the Mossel-
Saar-Ruwer region:
Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten kabinet 2005, Christoffel Erben Winery
This sweet and elegant wine has mineral tones and a paraffin undertone.
The grapes are grown in vineyards located on steep hills with a grade
of 70%. The stony soil is composed mainly of gray-blue slate. The wine
was fermented in stainless tanks and aged in 600-liter oak casks.
The wine will be served with ricotta cheese with truffle honey.
Riesling Spätlese 2006 Wehlener Sonneenuhr, Dr. Loosen Winery
This sweet wine comes from 65-year-old vineyards on the steep slopes
of the Mosel River.
The wine is a perfect accompaniment to a mango Tart Tatin.
The tasting menu with German wines was introduced by Pavel Winter,
Alcron’s Chief Sommelier.
