Saale-Unstrut
In the Saale/Unstrut region producers concentrate on dry, medium-bodied wines. In the warm river valleys of this region Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner, and Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) varieties grow very well and are made into a soft, dry, white wine. On occasion one may encounter a Spätlese or Auslese wine, but due to climatic conditions, these are very rare indeed.
