The cool continental climates of Germany and Austria are the envy of Riesling growers the world over. Zesty lime flavours, soaring acidities and hugely long finishes typify the Rieslings, from bone dry examples up to lusciously sweet. Spicy, full bodied Gruner Veltliners from Austria are gaining a following, as are the excellent Pinot Noirs from top German growers.
