The cultivation area is about 50 kilometers long between Wiesbaden and Rüdesheim in Hesse. Because of the excellent climatic conditions, wine has been cultivated here since the time of Emperor Charlemagne. With an area of ​​just over 3,000 hectares, the Rheingau region is not a particularly large wine-growing region, but the quality of its wines is above average. In the Rheingau, almost exclusively Riesling is grown with a share of almost 80 percent.
