Mittelrhein
Inside this beautiful landscape of steep terraced vineyards crowned with medieval castles and ruins you will find the quaint region of Mittelrhein.
Beginning just below Bonn and extending 60 miles south on both banks of the Rhine this area is well known for varieties that grow well on inhospitable slopes. The clayish soil yields lively wines with a pronounced acidity. The Riesling does best here, and is produced mostly for local consumption.
