German Wine Institute presents regional wines at ProWein 2012
This year the German Wine Institute (DWI) will attend ProWein, the international trade fair for wines and spirits, using the slogan "Discover the Taste of our Regions". The regional focus was chosen due to the emphasis the German Tourism Board wants to place on "Wine Culture and Nature" in order to advertise Germany’s wine regions as key tourist destinations in 2012.
German Pinot Noir reveals itself
Germany has long kept secret its world class Pinot Noirs, or Spätburgunder, though over the past few years has been slowly letting in the rest of the world on these wonderful wines. Indeed, they hit the headlines in the UK recently, when German versions of this grape variety hauled seven out of the top ten spots in an international blind tasting, tasted almost solely by UK trade folk.
Wine lovers can expect great 2011 vintage
German wine producers are looking forward to a very good 2011 vintage which will be available in sufficient quantity in nearly all of the growing regions. The German Wine Institute (DWI) announced that the total amount harvested, according to the latest estimates, is expected to be about nine million hectolitres. Nationwide, this year's yield is therefore around the average level of the past ten years and 30 percent above the exceptionally low – 7.1 million hectolitres – yield of the previous year. Only in Franken and Württemberg, where the frost in May caused heavy losses, the yield will be similarly low as in 2010.
Organic wine gains in popularity
"Organic" is booming - viticulture is no exception: In Germany the cultivated areas producing organic wine have almost doubled over the last four years.

Riesling on saksalaisen viininviljelyn käyntikortti ja se lajike, joka muovaa Saksan viinin mainetta ympäri maailman. Voi aiheellisesti sanoa, että Saksa on Riesling-viinin kotimaa. Yli puolet maailman Rieslingin viljelyalueista sijaitsee Saksassa. Maailman suurin yhtäjaksoinen Rieslingille omistettu alue on Moselissa.
