Moselle

Together with the Saar and the Ruwer is a large wine-growing area, which reaches 11,000 hectares. It is perhaps the most renowned and well-known German area for the production of the great Rieslings whose vines run along the Mosel River throughout its course, from the Vosges to the confluence with the Rhine in Koblenz. In the northernmost area, where the cultivation system is known as Terrassenmosel, the grapes ripen perfectly only in a few ideal environments, but in that case, thanks to the presence of slate, elegant and fine wines worthy ambassadors of Riesling in the world come out.
