German wine shows at Top Wine China

Germany’s wine growing regions are amongst the most northerly growing regions in the world, making German wines quite unique. The long ripening period of the grapes paired with moderate summer temperatures gives German white wines their renowned lightness and fruity aroma. Riesling is Germany’s - and perhaps the world’s – premier white grape variety. For the past few years, red wine production in Germany has also benefited from the effects of climate change. Consequently, red wines have gained a market share of 36 percent in Germany, led by the international varietal, Pinot Noir. When grown in Germany, these two grape varieties are known for their exceptional fruitiness which, combined with a fine fruit acid structure, produces wines with great storage potential.

From 4 to 6 June, Wines of Germany will present a variety of German wines which are available in China at the degustation booth in the German Pavilion booth number 1500 at the Top Wine China in Beijing.

Together with 18 further exhibitors, Germany forms a strong presence in the National Convention Center of Beijing.

Annika Strebel, the German wine queen, will accompany the wineries and will be pleased to inform visitors about her country’s fascinating wines and will opening the fair with a seminar on Monday, 4th from 11am to 12.30 am where professionals are invited to join.
