Germany
I always wanted to be a grown up and love Riesling, but years ago every approach ended in rebuff. Cool climate Rieslings from New Zealand or the USA didn't quite get there, and most Aussie examples smell like a can of kerosene poured over a wrecked cosmetics counter. Not pretty. Every recent experience with German Riesling has ended in happiness and total satisfaction. Have I grown up (unlikely) or is German the key word here? What Germany has over its Riesling growing rivals is a truly cool climate - most years anyway - and some fantastic terroirs, selected over hundreds of years for their character and quality. Check out regions and producers for more details, but more importantly, taste them! And Germany isn't just about white wine these days, or even just Riesling in the whites. Don't forget Pinor Noir, now that climate change and better farming are having their effect. And Franken's Sylvaner won't be left out of the picture, despite being described to me by a native as 'great with salad'! And so much more, so much more.
