Sachsen, also known as Saxony, is a wine region located in eastern Germany, near the border with the Czech Republic. Boasting a long history of winemaking that stretches back to the 11th century, Sachsen offers a unique terroir. The region's cool, continental climate is complemented by its vineyards, which can have slopes but are not characteristically dramatic terraces like some other German wine regions.
The main grape varieties grown in Sachsen are Müller-Thurgau, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris. The region is known for producing crisp, dry white wines with high acidity and minerality. Some of the most popular wine styles from Sachsen include Riesling, Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), and Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris).
