German Wines to Try for Oktoberfest

This year, Munich, Germany, will celebrate the 190th Oktoberfest. In our own celebration of sorts, we're featuring German wines. From sweet to dry and red to white, we're highlighting them all. 

Starting with the Pfalz region in southern Germany, there’s Villa Wolf with their white Pinot Gris and red Pinot Noir. Germany is the third largest Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris growing country in the world, and both of these wines are dry, light, and fresh. 

Next is Rheinhessen and a stop at Weingut Wittmann, a family-owned winery founded in 1663. They practice organic and biodynamic farming to produce a Pinot Blanc that is clean, crisp, and has a softer finish. In the Mosel River region, there are a couple wineries to note. First is Dr. Loosen and their entry-level Riesling that is vibrant, refreshing, and fruit driven with some sweetness. There's also Fritz Haag Riesling, which is off -dry with some sweetness, but finishes on the drier side. 

Finally, in the Rheingau region on the Rhine River is Robert Weil. Their Riesling Tradition tastes like fresh apples with a hint of sweetness and a clean, long fi nish. Enjoy these off erings from Germany's wine country.
