Saxony Wine Region Explained: Germany’s Most Easterly Vineyards

In this video, I continue my Mastering Germany series with a journey through Saxony, known in German as Sachsen, Germany’s most easterly wine region. Saxony may be small, with just over 500 hectares of vineyard, but it is one of Germany’s most distinctive and historically fascinating wine regions. In this video, I look at the key areas around Dresden, Meißen and Radebeul, exploring the Elbe River, steep terraced vineyards, granite and syenite soils, and some of the region’s most important grape varieties. We cover Pillnitz, Königlicher Weinberg, Meißner Kapitelberg, Kurfürstlicher Weinberg, Radebeul’s Goldener Wagen, Steinrücken, Wackerbarthberg and Schloss Proschwitz, one of Saxony’s most important producers and a VDP member. This is part of my deeper Mastering Germany series, available in full through the Wine with Jimmy Club.
