Glühwein - German Mulled Wine

Vineyard & Winemaking Notes

Reminiscent of the smells and enchanting delights of Germany's world famous holiday markets, Starling Castle, Glühwein sends your taste buds on a flavorful trip to a snow clad, wintry Germany. While the origins of spiced wine can be dated back to the Roman Empire, enjoying a cup of hot mulled wine on icy cold days is a cherished winter tradition that over centuries Germans have made their own. This sweet holiday classic is jam packed with savory winter spices including cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg with a hint of orange zest. It pairs well with holiday cheer and is best enjoyed warm in the company of good friends.

Region Description

The northernmost wine-producing country in Europe, Germany’s cool climates are mostly suitable for white grapes. The best vineyards are situated along rivers such as the Rhine and the Mosel, which temper the extremes of weather and help the grapes ripen. German wines are named after the places they come from, usually a combination of a village name, a vineyard name, and a grape name. German law makes no distinctions of quality between vineyards. As a result, many wines are mass-produced. Look for the classification QbA or QmP to assure that the grower is reputable. The finest wines are given a Prädikat, which is an indication of the ripeness of the grapes at harvest. There are six levels of Prädikat; in order from the least ripe to the ripest they are Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese (BA) Eiswein, and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA). At the three highest levels, the amount of sugar in the grapes is so high that the wines are inevitably sweet, but since Prädikat is an indication of the amount of sugar in the grape at harvest (and not in the wine) the lower levels of Prädikat offer no direct hint about the wine’s sweetness.
