Rheinhessen wine region

Rheinhessen

As Germany's largest wine region, Rheinhessen has undergone a remarkable transformation from mass-produced industrial sweet wines to high-quality Rieslings that command international respect. The region's best sites concentrate in the red-sandstone soils of the Rheinterrasse ("Rhine Terrace") and the majestic Roter Hang ("Red Slope").
