The Nahe wine-growing region, named after the river of the same name, lies between the Rheingau region in the north and the Rheinhessen region in the east. A special feature of the cultivation area is the great variety of soils and the narrowest of landscape changes. The nature of the soil can change over sections of several hundred meters, which leads to a great variety of tastes in the Nahe wines. Above all, Müller-Thurgau and Riesling are grown on around 4,000 hectares of vineyards.
