German wine expert Shane Jones DipWSET selected 8 non-Riesling wines to show you a different side of the Germany.
Event details
Riesling dominates Germany's vineyard plantings, but the wine landscape is far more diverse. From the ancient variety of Elbling to the range within the Pinot family, the country's white wine production reflects a modern offering that might not have been envisaged a century ago.
German wine specialist Shane Jones DipWSET will guide you through this exploration of the white grape varieties, regions and producers helping to shape a new image that is not solely focused on Riesling.
Wines will be enjoyed alongside a selection of cheeses from La Fromagerie.
