About Germany Wine Producing Region Mittelrhein

Date:   September 24, 2010

Philippines Wine Shop Clark Wine Center is pleased to share with you articles, news and information about wine, wine events, wine tasting and other topics related to wine and the appreciation of wine.

Beginning just below Bonn and extending about 100 km/60 miles south along the banks of the Rhine, the Mittelrhein  is a beautiful region of steep, terraced vineyards and some of the wine world’s most splendid scenery — medieval castles and ruins clinging to rocky peaks, sites of ancient legends where Siegfried, Hagen and the Loreley seem to spring to life. Nearly three-fourths of the vineyards are planted with the noble Riesling grape. The clayish slate soil yields lively wines with a pronounced acidity. In years when the wines are particularly austere, they are sold to the producers of Sekt , Germany’s sparkling wine, where high acidity is an asset.
