i mean nothing out of the germans because sometimes i am but most and nothing with me but i have been think deep into the german culture. new didn't seem to take that as grandma day oh you know it's all about who they know i'm rachel join me to meet the gem of the bungee jump the polls. is great poverty is tired that's why these check in special is all about why there are 13 wine growing regions in germany we visited 3 of them. go home tony's pipe to explode live in yon some of the most of.

us and followers the sights and wine route on a couple steamer. just . takes a drive along the german wine route through the poll out tonight. you know. today's journey takes me to one of the warmest and loveliest regions in germany the german wine route. it's 85 kilometers long and the winds through the politeness been years it's. the sign bearing a bunch of grapes shows me the way. wine

is very important around these parts of the latin it is germany 2nd biggest line growing area there are over 23000 hectares of vineyards here. good wine good food combined with this incredible landscape the perfect set up for a little odd m. get away. there are many typical villages along the german wine route. i've made a stopover in the. book. a really romantic setting. i booked a segway tour through the bin years here but 1st i have to be introduced to my

trusty steed. hold tight so transfer your weight on to your toes in a slightly for. this is what we are in. learning of all the routines for your way to refuse to break and that was how you moved to steer but i didn't know yes you did. and we go. after 20 minutes we reach our destination. base to. it was commissioned by bavarian king moved me back when the pilot meant was still part of bavaria his former summer residence is now a popular destination among daytrippers. the

perfect finish to our tour at picnic in the vineyard i'm looking forward to it. and one regional specialty in particular. big stomach. i can't wait to try it. with the 3 of the most delicious of. the other. that said if i didn't expect education like this is what's in it and there's a lot going on in there just take a look at how i felt magnet him admit some of his own i stuffed with rule in comedy and go back and make so much potatoes on eyes and that's when i margarine that's very important which is all have the secret recipes for songs and then sell mark

and then also i. had a gun to. find out you know i mean why don't you introduce the wine to match the now get some on exactly which ranking i'll go for it's 20 now it's a variety that's typical for hold on. hold has one of the world's oldest vineyards it's over 400 years old and of its stocked with what's coming up vines from you know the when bush grouped. let's continue our journey along the wine route. that is a small charming wine growing village you'll find it in every travel guide the town's entire center is classified as a historical monument. now

we're on our way to our last stop for a survey of the fair gaming winery close to london. everything under one roof. very modern. with a big production plant and a wine bar with a lovely outdoor terrorists. in the pullout meant wine growing is still very much a family affair. and heritage the vineyard from his father 18 years ago. and. this is a stunning property really sets itself apart from the rest of the region the modern design immediately catches the eye why would you go for this kind of style. wine growing is changing we've looked to the rest of the world to me people want to go out to the videos during joy the countryside. they prefer bright light to old time rustic oaks alice it's more fun to taste wine in

a bright room and make it in these beautiful surroundings. but then what is it challenges for modern wine growers the climate change the past few years were all very different lots of change we've had everything's fine weather high humidity late frost spring frosts and lots of precipitation extreme weather and we had to react specifically to that the challenge to deal with every year so that the grapes flourish and ripen well. less money ones makes for a good year which factors have to come together to achieve and exceptionally good wine. like pulse it is good for that's a good question basically the whole year has to be right the rain the sun doing the work all at the right time whether it's tilling the soil pruning the vines or picking the grapes you have to have a real knack for doing the right thing at the right time and we can fight if we

think it's a tool and i feel like the only right thing we can do right now is try a glass of your wine sounds good then. you have the money we have a sling picking of the white wine varieties in germany let's start with that. why was why is the riesling the king of wines why do the germans love their riesling so much. grapes grow better in germany than anywhere else in the world they develop the best aroma and the best flavors like what else you know. what they smell like ok. but nonetheless. he's looking at me like i'm completely around a few years each each year. oh my goodness i want to read you need to remember at

least 3 things and one before trying it that's proving rather difficult with my rookie knows that i would have detected something else. honey yeah yeah yeah. point for me i mean go in there on your way to becoming a pro. night is falling over the line route and the really lovely day is coming to an. ashtray going to take some so long to move but our journey begins in

a mysterious. 1 while it's pretty dark down here pretty chilly too i'm intolerant on the missouri river the city is known for these on the ground syllable. where are we what kind of cellar is this and one half of them were in one of the largest centers of the tartan tub under former wine cellar unfortunately they no longer use just such today. there are still is under the whole of tartan tub because at the end of the 20th century it was a huge wind trading center people said it was the 2nd largest wine trading center in europe after bordeaux in france. in the year 8090 a saloon some 18000000 leases of wine made their way from here out into the big wide world. in the course of i prevailed.

the 1st thing all visitors notice the buffer around is the bridge gate on the muzzle. at the beginning of the 19th century that was enough will be here to commission the well known berlin art nouveau architect blum ruling he not only designed the bridge gate but also a number of villa us. thanks part of the architecture characterizes top in taba to this day a great place to start my journey along the missouri. today i want to find out why the muzzle is one of the most beautiful river scapes in germany so i'm off for right along a part of the most ill psychopath from try to call him but that's not all i'll also be finding out why was the winds are so special.

the nice thing about a bike path that runs along a river is that it's fairly flat at least as long as it's close to the water the moselle valley also offers a lot of beautiful panoramas but for those you have to paddle a little harder. but it's worth taking the detour up hill here for example are the ruins of craven book castle built in the 14th century it was repeatedly attacked destroyed and rebuilt until it was finally blown up in the 18th century from here i can get a fantastic view over the moselle valley. biking along the moselle i can definitely recommend that most of the time you can ride along the water away from cars and streets through natural landscapes or small wine growing villages the river and the wind somehow they belong together

especially near but it's where you'll find the probably the most famous vineyard in germany because of its steep slope i meet the wind maker. why is the wind from the muzzle special how does it differ from other ones. it's the soil. because we have these steep shale slopes the slate found at these elevations warms the vineyards slightly due to its dark color the slate stores heat which is a mid to the grapevines little by little. that means it's always a little warmer up here on the hill than in the flatter areas and that helps the resupplying most of all to ripen well because recently is a great variety that ripens relatively late so here the recently mature is nicely without acquiring too high in alcohol content and due to the shale soil it has a great mineralogy you. can't eat one. yeah you can but it won't taste

very good. we're still too far from harvest time so it won't be much of a treat but you'll notice that the grapes are still pretty hard but if you want to try go ahead and. going to one. or all like i said recycling ripens late. it's still sour because there's still a lot of acid and not much sugar and we have other varieties that mature somewhat sooner and already taste great they'd have been better for a taste and don't be offended but just spit it out. out of the vignette and into the in the take up to shows me his wine shop where you can taste the fruits of his labor is a wine maker. but

what have we got yes look i have selected a wine for you recently of course from the vineyard we just visit it back and give it a try what. you did with pleasure. so your health. delicious wonderful and glad you like it and if you're good maybe you noticed the mineralogy i was talking about. well i'm not much of a wine connoisseur i could say that the wine is somewhere between sweet and sour what should i be tasting what is unique about this wine. because for the divine. it generally it has a slightly peachy aroma as is the case with many reasons the nice really characteristic thing about our reasoning grown on the steep slopes is it's like mineralnye which makes it taste a bit salty if you let the wine dance around

a bit on your palate it develops this characteristic quality and a certain lightness. even though it's quite mature it's a bit lighter and doesn't have such a high alcohol content. so that's what makes the mosul and its shale soils so special. their bodies are. made stay that way. along the cycle path and runs on both banks of the river on route you can always find ferries to take you to the other side. but. i still have a few kilometers to go before i'll reach my destination him visible in the distance

was cut from castle it looks old but only dates from the 19th century call them as just 5000 inhabitants but it's a much visited city. many missouri river cruises set off from here. i've got one last tip for you and call them take the cable car off to the pinup back. from there you have to hike a little further over the rock to the pier not courts. this cross was put here in memory of a shepherd who wanted to save one of his animals from falling and died in the process. from this spot you have the whole panorama in front of you. the. final wind stops in dresden on the album.

it's early morning and the old town is only just beginning to stir waiting for the 1st tourists. you could spend days just going through the churches in museums. but i've got other plans i have a steam ship waiting for one from greece the white fleet. today i'm going to take you on a trip along the texan wine route right wine route the name says it all and one of those ships down there is going to take me quite comfortably into the vineyards starting here in boston via the other boy all the way up to the town of my. the white fleet andreessen still is not in historic paddle steamers. these days the ship stopped steams along the sex and wine route. one last

look at grayson skyline then it gets rustic. after about an hour i go ashore in the other boy the city is the center of the sex and wine route. the steep slopes a small palaces and the dry stone walls that's what the region is known for it is one of the smallest and northern most wine growing areas in germany most of the wine produced here is served and consumed locally. the oldest winery in saxony is the whole flue snit's it used to be along to the section lectures and the most famous of them was the strong is said to have celebrated lavish wine dollars here today organic wines are produced on the blue snoots which you can taste on the terrace.

a jewel of sexiness vignettes is back about castle named after the count who had it built around 730. today it's the location of the sex in state video. i have an appointment at a winery called golden of the golden wagon one of the. it's locations in the heart of boy a little girl is with us nice to have you here at the golden wagon. train ride back home to moscow but is an innkeeper a tour guide and even he climbs this staircase many times a week he owns a little vignette next to the golden wagon go out of breath no no i'm in good shape . this keeps me fit. the long climb is rewarded with a spectacular view of the elder valley on clear days you can see all the way from

the golden wagon to traced and the czech republic by october most of the grapes have already been gathered only a few bunches are still on the vines so must talk about says about 80 percent of all that listen saxony do it as a hobby like he does as a boy he worked in his uncle's vineyard and later took it over the work is tiring but the wine is delightful. to us in all these walls are they just ornamental or do they serve a purpose the walls are very important sacks and he's very far north for a wine region and we've got some problems with climate a wall like this soaks up the sun all day and stores heat like an oven and then radiates it back with us this was how are you looked down on by the professional wine growers. as in the poll of most national wine growers are glad to have the hobby vintners working to keep the countryside in shape they would not be able to

handle it economically and steep slopes couldn't be maintained without the hobby vendors and if the vineyards fell into ruin the tourists wouldn't come and at the end the commercial wineries wouldn't be able to sell their wines any more. time for a wine tasting. still right there i brought you a flavorful drop from the golden wag. try this. and this is a solaris. and then what is true does that remind me off. maybe pineapple that yes very good the pineapple note is quite pronounced. in m. i y. connoisseur you're learning i'm impressed it has to taste good that's the most important thing cheers. the steamboat takes me now from the god of oil to mice.

v it is the oldest ship in greece is white fleet it was built in $879.00 but 140 years later the engine is still running smoothly. now the town of meissen comes in sight with its vignettes and castle hill. the market square it is the scene of my son's action there is also a phone kosher a church of our lady. in addition narrow streets and lots of wine bars by the way the 1st vineyard saxony was documented here in meissen 850 years ago. and then again. climbing stairs but i'm already use that.

the mice in cathedral is 18 meters high and 800 years old. the 2nd attraction up here is the book it's over a 1000 years old and is called the cradle of saxony. it was 1st built in $129.00 as a fortress defending against the slavs and later became the seat of say. nice rulers in the 15th century it was converted into germany's 1st real palace with ball rooms and living and working quarters. but the castle stood empty for some time the prince electra's had moved to dresden but it was here that alchemy. found white gold in 17th 10 europe's oldest porcelain manufacturer started production in the ugliest book.

in the late 19th century the factory moved down into the town once again the book was renovated and given several murals depicting chapters from sex in these turbulent history which began here in mice. do you know what it takes to make a real castle. exactly a castle tavern even if the weather is not very inviting it's enough for a last look over my scene. i noticed one thing above all today most of the wine here is served directly in the taverns or at the wine growers on site that means if you want to try some of that delicious white you just have to come to the sex and wine route i have to admit it's a small wine region but it's got

a lot of history and culture cheers. the be.
