Wine Atlas of Germany

Featuring sixty-seven exceptional color maps as well as eighty-seven vivid images by photographer Hendrik Holler and others, this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date atlas of German wine?a detailed reference to vineyards and appellations. The authors explain the geography of all sixteen German wine-growing regions and provide independent analysis and ranking of the most significant vineyards in each region. In addressing the growing American appreciation of German wines, the atlas pays in-depth attention to Rieslings from the Mosel and other premier regions while also acquainting readers with wines from less familiar areas such as the Ahr, Baden, the Taubertal, and Franconia. Beautifully produced, with helpful sidebars and succinct essays, this book will become the standard reference on the subject.

Dieter Braatz is Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the German magazine Der Feinschmecker and author of a guide to Germany’s best wine estates. Ulrich Sautter is the author of Wein A-Z. Ingo Swoboda writes for Der Feinschmecker and is the coauthor of Riesling. Kevin D. Goldberg (translator) is an Instructor of History at Kennesaw State University and the author of a forthcoming book on the history of the German wine trade.
