• 1 min read

Described by Michael Schmidt as 'a vintage which will be up there with the greats of recent decades', 2011 in Germany is very well covered on this site. Below is a guide to all we have published, the most recent articles at the top. And there is more to come!  

We first published this some months ago but we thought it worth reminding you of its contents now, not least in view of the two most recent articles, including one published today. One more survey of Rheingau wines to come.
