Rheingau

The Rheingau, a classic German wine region along the Rhine River, is celebrated as a birthplace of Riesling. Here, on south-facing slopes sheltered by the Taunus mountains, the slate and quartzite soils impart a distinct minerality to the wines. The Rheingau is known for producing elegant and refined Rieslings, often dry or off-dry, that balance ripe fruit with bracing acidity and a distinctive structure. With a long and prestigious winemaking history, the Rheingau remains a benchmark for classic German Riesling, known for its grace and age-worthiness.
