White Wine, Rheinhessen
Rheinhessen, Germany's largest wine region, has a long history of grapegrowing on the Rhine River that dates as far back as the Romans. The region sits in a valley of gentle rolling hills, where its varied soils and favourable climate enable the growth of many grape varieties – both traditional and emerging. Though Müller-Thurgau and Riesling are the two most planted varieties, red wine varieties – primarily Dornfelder, Portugieser, and Spätburgunder – now account for roughly one-third of vineyard plantings. Other varieties include Silvaner, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc. The area near the village of Nierstein produces some of the country’s fullest bodied Rieslings.
