The wine region of German Wine
World benchmark country for Riesling, ~103,000 ha across 13 regions along the Rhine. King Riesling (~23%): chiselled, mineral whites with signature notes of citrus, white peach, green apple, white flowers, honey and a petrolly age touch, crisp acidity - from taut dry (Trocken) to noble sweets (Auslese, Beerenauslese, Eiswein). Also fine, silky Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), supple Müller-Thurgau, ample Silvaner, dense Dornfelder. Mosel, Pfalz and Rheingau as stars.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
