The tasting takes you on a journey through different regions of Germany via five very different wines, to gain a better understanding of how wine varies according to location and style.
We begin with a German sparkling wine called Winzersekt Andres 1215, from the Palatinate. It is a fresh, elegant wine with fine bubbles, ideal for kicking off the tasting.
Next, we’ll taste a wine from Schittler Becker, a Blanc de Noir from the Rheinhessen region. It’s made from red grapes, yet it’s a very light, smooth and easy-drinking white wine.
The third wine is a Gewürztraminer from Wassmer, in the Baden region. It’s a highly aromatic wine, with intense floral and fruity notes, perfect for discovering more expressive styles.
Next, as an introduction to the ‘Taste and Learn’ section, we tasted the K.H. Schneider Schlossböckelheim Vulkangestein Riesling from the K.H. Schneider winery in the Nahe region. It is a fresh and balanced wine, with the distinctive character imparted by volcanic soils.
We finished with a Haltinger Spätburgunder. It is an elegant red wine from Baden.
We also include thoughtful appetisers that complement our wines.
Our grazing boards include:
Bread and breadsticks, Sierra de Cazorla extra virgin olive oil, tomatoes, olives, hummus, pâté, stuffed peppers, anchovies with brioche, chorizo-style black pudding, assorted cheeses, nuts, grapes, and dessert.
