4Elbe Valley, Germany

The Saxon wine route, in the east of Germany, follows the valley carved out by the Elbe river. The sheltered valley, catching the sun, provides a microclimate perfect for viticulture.The most notable wine here is the gold riesling, grown almost exclusively in this area, sharing only a name with the lively aromatic rieslings produced in the western part of Germany.
