Growing Areas
Germany has about 102,000 hectares (252,000 acres or 1,020 square kilometers) of vineyard, which is around one tenth of the vineyard surface in Spain, France or Italy. The total wine production is usually around 9 million hectoliters annually, corresponding to 1.2 billion bottles, which places Germany as the eighth largest wine-producing country in the world. White wines account for over half, and somewhere closer to two thirds, of the total production.
The largest proportion of German wine is produced primarily in the southwest of Germany, along the river Rhine and its tributaries, with the oldest plantations going right back to the Roman era. Probably over half of the German wine production is situated in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate, where 6 of the 13 regions (Anbaugebiete) for quality wine are situated.
However, some of the other growing areas produce some totally distinctive, sometimes unusual, sometimes quite unique wines, which are of outstanding quality. Hence our range, in which many wines are gold and silver medal winners, is presently sourced largely from The Palatinate (Pfalz), Franconia (Franken), The Moselle area (Mosel) and Würrtemberg. This range may well be extended in the future.
