German wine overview
German vineyards are most well known for their white grape varieties:
- Riesling
- Müller-Thurgau (Rivaner)
- Silvaner (Sylvaner)
- Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder or Ruländer)
- Pino Blanc (Weissburgunder)
- Gewürtztraminer.
red wines are available, but are generally not as widely available as white wines:
- Pino Noir (Spätburgunder)
- Trollinger (Blauer Malvasier)
Regardless of the variety, when the grape name is stated on the label, 85% of the wine must be produced from that grape.
