Hold tight so transfer your weight on to your toes you know its like before. This is so weird. Going up on the roof for your way to refuse to break. That was how you move the steer but i didnt know yes you did. And off we go. After 20 minutes we reach our destination. Through.

Now were on our way to our last stop for a survey of the fair game wiring close to land. Everything under one roof. Very modern. With a big production plant and a wine bar with a lovely outdoor terrorists. In the politeness wine growing is still very much a family affair. Inherited the vineyard from his father 18 years ago. Ever may have been made this is a stunning property really sets itself apart from the rest of the region the modern design immediately catches the eye and why would you go for this kind of style. Of wine growing is changing weve 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. Its more fun to taste wine in a bright room and make it in these beautiful surroundings. People but i mean what are the challenges for modern wine growers the Climate Change the past few years were all very different lots of change weve had everythings fine weather high humidity late frosts bring frost 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 for. Less money than makes for a good year which factors have to come together to achieve an exceptionally good wine. Like pulse it is good for thats a good question basically the whole year has to be right the rain the sun doing the work all at the right time whether its telling 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 think that if we think you can too and i feel like the only right thing we can do right now is try a glass of your way through some good and then. You have the money we have a very sling the king of the white wine varieties in germany lets 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 one of those you know. So what is that smell like ok. Hes looking at me like im completely around for years h h yessir. And my reason i want to read you need to remember at least 3 things and one before trying it thats proving rather difficult with my rookie knows that i would have detected something else. Honey yeah yeah yeah. Point for me im there on your way to becoming a pro. Night is falling over the line route and the really lovely day is coming to an end. Next takes us on long the most but our journey begins in a mysterious. 1 while its pretty dark down here pretty chilly too im intolerant on the Missouri River the city is known for these on the ground cellar vaults. Where are we what kind of cellar is this half of them were in one of the largest centers of the tarrant harbor underground former wine cellar unfortunately they no longer hes just such today. There are sellers under the whole of tartan tub because at the end of the 20th century it was a huge wine Trading Center people said it was the 2nd largest wine Trading Center in europe after bordeaux in france when in the year 890 s. Alone some 18000000 leases of wine made their way from here out into the big wide world. In the course of i today. The 1st thing all visitors notice above ground is the bridge gate on the ms ill. At the beginning of the 19th century that was enough well here to commission the well known berlin art nouveau architect blondel nearly he not only designed the bridge gate but also a number of villas. Thanks arguable architecture characterize a stop on top of to this state 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 im all for right along a part of them was ill psychopath from top to call him but thats not all ill 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 its fairly flat at least as long as its close to the water the most ill valley also offers a lot of beautiful panoramas but for those you have to paddle a little harder. But its worth taking the detour up hill here for example are the ruins of cleaving 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 muzzle belly. Biking along the muzzle 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 nearby and its where youll 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. Its 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 grape vines a little by little. That means its always a little warmer up here on the hill than in the flatter areas and that helps the recycling most of all to ripen well because recently is a Great Variety that ripens relatively late so here the recently matures nicely without acquiring too high an alcohol content and due to the shale soil it has a great mineralogy you. Cant eat one. Yeah you can but it wont taste very good. But were still too far from harvest time so it wont be much of a treat youll notice that the grapes are still pretty hard but if you want to try go ahead. Into one. Or all like i said that recycling ripens late into the autumn its still sour because theres still a lot of acid and not much sugar and we have other varieties that mature somewhat sooner and already taste great theyd have been better for a taste of it and dont be offended but just spit it out. Out of the vignette and into the guinness take up the shows and his wine shop where you can taste the fruits of his labor is a wine maker. What have we got. Selected a wine for you a recent thing of course from the vineyard we just visit it find it give it a try reasons and what. To do with pleasure. So to your health. Void. Delicious wonderful and glad you like it maybe you noticed the mineralogy i was talking about. Well im 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 vine it generally it has a slightly peachy aroma as is the case with many reasons the nice really characteristic thing about our recent grown on the steep slopes is its like mineralogy 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 its quite mature its a bit lighter and doesnt have such a high alcohol content. So thats what makes the mosul and its shale soils so special. And water bodies were. Made stay that way. Along the muzzle the cycle path runs on both banks of the river on route you can always find ferries to take you to the other side. I still have a few kilometers to go before i reach my destination cookham visible in the distance was common castle it looks old but only dates from the 19th century call them as just 5000 inhabitants but its a much visited city. Many Missouri River cruises set off from here. Ive got one less to for you and call them take a cable car up to the pin up back. From there you have to hike a little further over the rock to the pier not quite so. Much 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. Final wind tunnel stops in dresden on the album. Its 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 the museums. But ive got other plans i have a steam ship waiting one from greece things white fleet. Today im going to take you on a trip along with 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 greece than via got a boil all the way up to the top of my. The white fleet interest and 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 that it gets rustic. After about an hour i go ashore in the car the boy the city is the center of the sex and one route. The steep slopes d the small palaces and the dry stone walls thats 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 sex and is the whole flue snits it used to belong to the sex selectors 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 wall through snits which you can taste on the terrace. A jewel of sexiness vignettes is fucking about castle named after the count who had it built around 730. Today its the location of the saxon state vignette. I have an appointment at a winery called golden of the golden wagon one of the. Locations in the heart a boy or a little girl it was us nice to have you here at the golden wagon. To drive back home to must tell you about is an innkeeper a tour guide and bob even though he climbs the staircase many times a week he owns a little vignette next to the golden wagon go out of breath no no no im 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 were told must talk about says about 80 percent of all venison saxony do it as a hobby like he does as a boy he worked in his uncles 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 hes very far north for a wine region and weve 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 or not this was how are you looked down on by the professional wine growers it is a transport as in the poll of most rational 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 the steep slopes couldnt be maintained without the hobby vendors and if the vineyards fell into ruin the tourists wouldnt come and at the end the commercial wineries wouldnt be able to sell their wines any more. Time for a wine tasting. Still right i brought you a flavorful drop from the golden wagon. Try this. And this is the solaris. And thats what is true does that remind me of. Maybe pineapple. Yes very good the pineapple note is quite pronounced. In here my wife going to serve you learning im impressed it has to taste good thats the most important thing cheers. The steamboat takes me now from a father boyle to my son. View is the oldest ship in greece and why fleet it was built in 1879 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 is the scene of my sons action there is also a phone call here in church of our lady. In addition narrow streets and lots of wine bars by the way the 1st vineyard in saxony was documented here in meissen 850 years ago. And then again. Climbing stairs but im already use that. The mice in cathedral is 80 meters high and 800 years old. The 2nd attraction up here is the book its over a 1000 years old and is called the cradle of saxony. It was 1st built in 929. 00 as a fortress defending against the slavs and later became the seat of say. Sneeze rooters in the 15th century it was converted into germanys 1st real palace with ball room and living and working quarters. But the castle stood empty for some time the prince electras had moved to dressed in but it was here that all commis to join for privileged found white gold in 710. 00 europes oldest porcelain manufacturer started production in the ugliest book. In the late 19th century the factory moved down into the town once again the uplifts 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. In exactly a castle tavern even if the weather is not very inviting its 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 wine you just have to come to the sex and wine route i have to admit its a small wine region but its got a lot of history and culture.
