Germany<br />
Germany’s vineyards are generally located in the west region, spreading from Boon in the north, south east of<br />
Frankfurt and down the western border to Switzerland. Riesling is the main grape of Germany and, in a similar way<br />
to Chenin Blanc in the Loire Valley, is capable of producing wines that range from dry to lusciously sweet. Our two<br />
Rieslings from Kendermanns show contrasting styles; the Kendermanns Riesling Special Edition being the drier<br />
of the two with balanced acidity and delicate fruit while Kendermanns Riesling Kabinett shows a touch more<br />
sweetness with a wonderfully fragrant nose.<br />
Facts & Figures<br />
German Pinot Noir, known as Spatburger, is the<br />
most popular style on the domestic market. It is<br />
the third most planted variety in the country after<br />
white grapes Müller-Thurgau and Riesling.<br />
Did You Know?<br />
German wines are categorised using the Prädikat<br />
System, a means of using the ripeness of the grapes<br />
to determine the sweetness of the wine, or the<br />
amount of residual sugar left after fermentation.<br />
It does not refer to literally how sweet a wine is.<br />
