"While Riesling remains the trump card of German wine, there are several other grapes now making a splash, especially those of the Burgunder family. Spätburgunder, Grauburgunder and Weissburgunder aren’t the most familiar of names – but you probably know them under their French monikers of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris/Grigio and Pinot Blanc."

"By the fin de siècle, Rieslings from the Rhine, Mosel, and Saar were among the most sought-after and expensive wines in the world. Now, more than 100 years later, Germany’s top producers are ushering in another ‘golden age’ of German wine. They are doing so primarily with Riesling but also increasingly with Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), which gives world-class wines and has become the second driving force of the rapid evolution during the first decade of the 21st century."
