Rhein Riesling

Often referred to as the Land of a Thousand Hills, the Rheinhessen region, where our LK Rhein Riesling is produced, is the largest of the 13 German wine regions. The region is bordered on three sides by rivers. The Rhein, which forms at Lake Constance to the south, flows north along the eastern border of the region past the village of Nierstein toward Mainz, where it turns west toward Rüdesheim. Along this stretch it forms the northern boundary, while the Nahe river flows along the western side of the region. Rheinhessen is also bordered on three sides by other wine regions: the Rheingau, to the north, the Nahe, to the west, and the Pfalz, to its south. The label designation Rhein [Rhine] is only permissible for wines produced from one of these four regions.
