German Wines in AustraliaThis site is the rising of the phoenix in Australia for fantastic,
German Wines.
What follows is a tale of the
victory of ignorance and perception over knowledge and ability.
The Vinothek for Australia was a long time in the planning and making.
Sydney was chosen as the first city to have a Vinothek outlet, which,
in retrospect, may have been an unwise choice, since many people from
Melbourne, who had visited, had begged for just such an establishment
in Melbourne.
Vinothek was established to provide Australia with the very finest,
outstanding, indeed unusual and exclusive wines of Germany, also with a
reasonable contingent of Austrian wines, which, although in the last
decades very much overlooked in the world in general, are now becoming
the focus of intense, international interest for their quality. These
wines blasted away generations old, false conceptions of German wines
in the minds of the English speaking world generally.
In Australia, Vinothek is the source of outstanding and exceptional, prize winning German wines from mostly small, exclusive producers of both white and red wines.
