And yet that’s what I heard from Andreas Hütwohl, deputy general manager and a winemaker at Weingut von Winning, as we tasted the first of three Sauvignon Blancs at his winery in Deidesheim a few months ago. Mr. Hütwohl explained that von Winning chose Sauvignon Blanc as its lead grape for the export market because, unlike Riesling, it’s won world-wide recognition and acceptance. With Germany’s signature grape still a tough sell abroad, German producers are counting on other varieties to grow the fan base for all the country’s wines.

Germany’s new generation of young winemakers has vision and a goal: to make some of the best white and red wines in the world. When it comes to quality and image, German wines have earned high marks, especially in recent years. Only a century ago, German Rieslings were as highly acclaimed – and as expensive – as the wines from the leading châteaux of Bordeaux.
