Nr.:. 590638600116 Oechsle: 87 ° Alc. by vol.: 10% Residual sugar: 25.4 g/l Acidity: 7.7 g/l UPC Code: 0-89419-04805-6 SSC Code: 100-89419-04805-3 Winemakers notes: Our everyday sipping wine is fruity, mineral and well balanced. Typical flavours of ripe fruits, aromatic apples & peaches. Well-structured and delightful as well. In the mouth, the interaction of mouth- watering fruits and minerals is positively shimmering – very delicate and refreshing on the palate. Serving suggestions: Easy to drink if thirsty for wine – ideal with light fish, salads and poultry dishes. Serve chilled - Cheers! General information: Our Riesling comes from the famous Pfalz (Palatinate) region »Mittelhardt«. Here Riesling finds optimal ripening conditions on »red stone formation«. The mild climate and a long vegetation period let our fruits ripen perfectly. The vineyards, slightly sloping, have an average age of 30 years. They are south-facing, were pruned and strictly selected. After being gently pressed, the Riesling is fermented and vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vessels of various sizes. During this process it is most important for us to preserve the terroir until bottling and blending by strictly keeping the different lots separate. The »R« Riesling 2003 was rated by the Wine Spectator as the best valued Riesling in the world – the 2004 vintage got 90 points by Robert Parker and also the following vintages had great ratings. The name became a brand and the wine our most successful one in the world. Vineyard Brands | www.vineyardbrands.com | Birmingham, AL KES101.

The German Wine Market: a Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Analysis
Article The German Wine Market: A Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Analysis Marc Dressler Management and Entrepreneurship, University of Ludwigshafen, Ernst-Boehe-Str. 4, D-67059 Ludwigshafen, Germany; [email protected] Received: 25 July 2018; Accepted: 15 November 2018; Published: 21 November 2018 Abstract: Even though it is famous for beer, Germany offers one of the most attractive wine markets, exemplified by being the fourth biggest wine consumption market and a world champion in sparkling wine consumption as well as in wine imports. Still, fragmentation, intensive competition, lack of growth, and a changing environment speak to a challenging market for suppliers. In the absence of a comprehensive investigation on the market, this article aspires to deliver an economic and strategic market analysis. The statistical data is therefore complemented by the primary market research, notably online surveys on strategy and innovation, a proprietary database on wineries’ reputation, and an international expert survey on export success factors. The following market study aims to provide a concise overview covering the relevant market data, and to disclose strategic information about the German wine industry beyond pure market statistics. The German wine market, in the stable wine volume sold, shows dynamism underneath “the tip of the iceberg”, with industry specific environmental forces. Indeed, as the wine industry deals with agricultural products of a high emotional utility, players need to address the world of commodities and of differentiation. Structural changes are visible in the drive-out of players. Moreover, diverse and even restricting environmental factors motivate supplier´s innovation. The key is the changing consumer.

Integrating Tree-Ring and Wine Data from the Palatinate (Germany)
EGU2020-21983 https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-egu2020-21983 EGU General Assembly 2020 © Author(s) 2021. This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. Integrating tree-ring and wine data from the Palatinate (Germany) Oliver Konter and Jan Esper Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Department of Geography, Mainz, Germany ([email protected]) Tree-ring growth of conifer trees originating from central European low mountain ranges often reveal indistinct growth-climate relationships. Temperature variations can play a crucial role, whereas water availability can also control the annual growth and become the main dominating factor. The low mountain range Pfälzerwald in the Palatinate region represents the largest contiguous forested area in Germany and features at its most eastern limitation a unique ecological setting due to its sandy soils and reduced water availability. In addition, its north-south orientation and associated lee-effects due to predominating westerlies together with altitudinal differences of more than 300 m lead to higher temperatures, lower precipitation amounts, and, as a forest management consequence, to a proportion of up to 80 % of pine trees. Despite these exceptional ecological and climatological prerequisites, calibrating tree-ring width data from 487 Pinus sylvestris core samples against regional meteorological stations (1950-2011) and gridded data (1901-2011) confirm alternating climate control mechanisms. Comparison with drought- related indices (scPDSI), combining precipitation and temperature, unfolds highest correlations with May-July conditions (r1901-2011=0.34, p<0.05), however, lacking temporal robustness in the early 20th century. The vegetation outside the forested areas in the plain can be characterized as agricultural croplands with vineyards, representing one of the largest wine-growing regions in Germany.
