Forget Liebfraumilch. Germany makes some of the most exciting white wine in the world, from slate slopes so steep they're worked with ropes, along with world-class Pinot Noir and a new generation of brilliant young winemakers.
This guide follows the rivers through all 13 regions, with two illustrated pages on each. It also cracks the code of German labels, so you'll know a Kabinett from a Spätlese, and dry from sweet, at a glance.
What's inside
Ahr, Mittelrhein, Mosel, Nahe, Rheingau, Rheinhessen, Pfalz and Hessische Bergstraße
Franken, Württemberg, Baden, Saale-Unstrut and Sachsen
A wine map of Germany and two pages on reading a German label: quality levels, ripeness, the VDP and a sweetness scale
German grape names decoded: Spätburgunder, Grauburgunder, Lemberger and more
Classic bottles at every price, food matches and my verdict on each region
A one-page cheat sheet of all 13 regions
