Saxony

Saxony – Wines from Germany's easternmost wine-growing region

Saxony is Germany's smallest and easternmost wine-growing region – and that is exactly what makes it so special. The vines grow along the Elbe, primarily around Meißen and Radebeul, in a landscape of steep slopes and sandstone cliffs. The climate is continental: hot summers, cold winters, plenty of sun. The wines that emerge here carry this character: they are fresh, mineral, and often permeated by a vibrant acidity that gives them tension and elegance.

White wine in focus

Saxony is clearly a white wine region. Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris show their fine-boned, dry side here – with depth, without heaviness. Those looking for something special will find a rarity in the Goldriesling, which is grown almost exclusively in Saxony, as well as the Elbling, one of the oldest grape varieties in Europe. The Scheurebe brings aromatic spice to the glass. All these wines stand for an independent, unmistakable style.
