Experience the diversity of wines from Germany.

The most common grape varieties in Germany include Riesling, Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder), Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau, and Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder). Each of these varieties offers unique aromas and flavor profiles.

The storability of German wines depends on the type of wine. High-quality Rieslings and Pinot Noirs can be stored for several decades, gaining complexity over time. Other white wines like Silvaner and Müller-Thurgau should be consumed within a few years.

German wines pair well with a variety of dishes. Riesling harmonizes excellently with fish, seafood, and Asian cuisine. Pinot Noir pairs well with poultry, game, and robust cheeses. Silvaner is a versatile companion to light dishes and salads.

White wines from Germany should be served well chilled, ideally at a temperature between 7-13°C (45-55°F). Red wines like Pinot Noir should be served at a temperature of around 16-18°C (60-65°F) to fully bring out their aromas.
