Riesling is all but synonymous with German wine. It’s the most planted grape in Germany, accounting for almost a quarter of the country’s vineyard area. And while Riesling’s dominance is not about to change anytime soon, another white variety is becoming recognized for its quality and potential in Germany. The grape is none other than Chardonnay. German Chardonnay is still a minor player, covering only about 3 percent of German vineyards. About 7,000 acres of it were under vine in 2023, but more of it is being planted every year. And with good reason.
