Red Slate Vineyards in Germany

Found in areas like the Ürziger Würzgarten in the Mosel region, red slate contains oxidized iron compounds that give it a distinctive reddish color. Wines from these soils often have a spicy character along with their mineral notes, and can show more body than those from blue slate.
