The Region:
Our German wines are sourced from only the finest vineyards throughout the Mosel, Nahe, Pfalz and Rheinhessen regions in Germany.
Mosel
- The fifth largest winegrowing region in Germany.
- Riesling, the queen of grape varieties, rules supreme in the Mosel Valley.
- Along the twisting course of the Mosel, the river banks rise so sharply that these vineyards' terraces are amongst the most precipitous in the world.
- Over a lengthy ripening period; the combination of vine, microclimate and soil produces unique and fragrant wines.
- The ripening period often lasts as late as November, allowing the Riesling vine to collect natural sugar, valuable minerals and vitamins.
Nahe
- The Nahe region is named after the river that traverses the valleys of the forested Hunruck Hills, as it gently flows toward Bingen on the Rhine.
- A peaceful landscape of vineyards, orchards and meadows intersperse with cliffs and striking geographical formations.
- Although the Nahe is one of the smaller German wine regions, its extraordinary range of soil types is second to none and the region is able to produce diverse wines from relatively few grape varieties.
- Pinot Gris is planted at sites with loam, loess and sandy soils with the result of fuller bodied, very elegant styles.
Pfalz
- Germany's 2nd largest wine region in acreage (second only to the Mosel), but considered considered the largest producer by volume.
- Bordered by Rheinhessen on the north and France on the south and west, the Pfalz's vineyards sweep across this remarkably peaceful land for 50 uninterrupted miles.
- Pfalz is the main region of Pinot Noir production in Germany.
Rheinhessen
- Located in the Rhine Valley, bordered west by the Nahe River and east by the Rhine.
- The birthplace of Liebfraumilch
- Wines are characterized as being soft, fragrant, medium-bodied, pleasant and easy to drink with a complexity and depth second to none.
