Germany's best kept secret both for the breathtaking landscape and for the handful of Germany's finest Riesling producers, this region offers some of the least known and therefore the country's most excellent wine values.
The varied soil ranging from sandy loam which produces wines that resemble the neighbouring Rheinhessen, to the more slaty soil which brings forth the flowery bouquets reminiscent of Mosel wines, combines to create racy fruitiness with an almost spicy mineral complexity that is not to be found elsewhere in the country.
The excellent wines of this tiny region can certainly hold their own with the best of the larger and more famous vineyards.
