This vintage from 2004 offers a medium-bodied profile, featuring a brilliant balance of acidity that brings a refreshing quality to each sip. With prominent fruit intensity, it delivers delightful notes of ripe cherries and dark berries, complemented by subtle spice undertones. The tannins are medium and well-integrated, providing structure and elegance to the wine without overpowering its fruit-forward personality. This wine is beautifully dry, making it a versatile choice for pairing with a variety of dishes and an excellent representation of its region’s winemaking prowess.

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
