AromaticWhites Germany’s cool summer nights intensify the exotic aromas of so many of our white varieties. Just think of Gewürz’ with its rose petal and acacia honey fragrance, or Grauburgunder (aka Pinot Grigio) which often suggests pears, hazelnuts and pineapple! Dry but rich and packed with flavour, these wines are fantastic with seafood and all sorts of Asian foods from sushi to Szechuan chicken.

Sekt

For centuries, German vintners have been blending fine wines made from different grape varieties then refermenting them to make crisp, dry, beautifully balanced bubbly. We call our sparkling wine Sekt and it tends to show up wherever there’s a special event happening or something to celebrate… Or just because people are feeling like having fun!

TRY IT WITH

Eggs Baked in Sweet Potato Hash Bubbles at brunchtime? Of course! Dry Sekt cuts through all the hash’s rich, hearty textures.

TRY IT WITH

Pan-roasted Ontario Pickerel This Pinot Grigio has the body and richness to handle brown butter but is still nimble enough to flatter the pickerel.
