Overview
Domaine Faiveley International Wine Book of the Year 2020 (Louis Roederer International Wine Writers' Awards)
Hobbled by confusing wine laws and still overcoming a residual Liebfraumilch image, Germany has been described as the bane of every wine lover’s life. But despite this baggage Germany today is a vibrant, creative and progressive wine country. German wine expert Anne Krebiehl profiles each region in terms of its climate, soils, history, predominant grape varieties and current dynamics, providing key producer profiles, including well-known estates along with some interesting newcomers.
