Rheinhessen region

With a cultivation area of around 27,000 hectares, Rheinhessen is the largest cultivation area in Germany. The name is somewhat misleading, because the wine-growing region is not in the federal state of Hesse, but in Rhineland-Palatinate. The surrounding mountains protect the wine-growing region from cold north winds and heavy rainfall. In addition, the wide range of climate and soil conditions ensures a rich spectrum of interesting wines, ranging from Riesling and Müller-Thurgau to Dornfelder and Silvaner to Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir.
