Riesling is different!
On the dry, shallow, and stony south-facing slopes, no vine grows better than Riesling. It loves the summer sun but also withstands winter frost much better than other grape varieties. The older the vines get, the more complex their root system becomes. Decades-old Riesling vines can root up to twenty meters deep. Ideal for excellent supply of valuable minerals.
Despite its minimal global share of four percent, the Riesling vine is found in almost all growing regions of the international wine world. In the Rheingau, it occupies almost 80% of the vineyard area.
