Obviously, we don't just drink German wine, but as this is the theme for the Wine Rambler we decided to feature five German wines that really impressed us last year. Other wines could have been mentioned as well, and I will just pick two of them. My favourite non-German wine last year was probably Prager's Smaragd Riesling, an outstanding Austrian Riesling that had a well structured full body brimming with energy and the right dosage of strong acidity to keep it lively and fresh.
Of the wines Julian wrote about, I was really impressed with the Domaine Huet, Vouvray Sec "Le Mont", 2007. I missed out on this deep and charismatic wine, but the way Julain described really made me crave Chenin Blanc from the Loire - which so far worked out very well for me.
