Germany
German wine is primarily produced in the southwest of
Germany, along river Rhine and its tributaries, with the oldest plantations
going back to the Roman era. Approximately 60 per cent of the German wine
production is situated in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate, where 6 of
the 13 regions (Anbaugebiete) for quality wine are situated. Germany has about
102,000 hectares (252,000 acres or 1,020 square kilometers) of vineyard, which
is around one tenth of the vineyard surface in Spain, France or Italy. The
total wine production is usually around 9 million hectoliters annually,
corresponding to 1.2 billion bottles, which places Germany as the eighth
largest wine-producing country in the world.
White wine accounts for almost two thirds of the total production.

This is an easy Pinot to enjoy, flavor-packed, riper than was probably thought possible during previous eras of German viticulture. It's the classic red for turkey-based festivities. Soft red fruit, freshness and a general absence of tannin make it great!
