Wurttemberg

The indigenous population of the region of Württemberg have long kept their wines a closely held secret. They rarely share their wines with outsiders, and prefer to consume most, if not all, of it themselves.

Still if you can manage to find yourself at one of the local wine bars you will experience strikingly fruity, distinctively earthy red wines and hearty, powerful whites. Württemberg is the largest red wine region in Germany with nearly half of the landscape planted with red wine grape varieties.
