About Mosel Riesling Vineyards
The steep slate vineyards of the Mosel around Bernkastel-Kues, home of Riesling, with famous sites such as the Bernkasteler Doctor and the Wehlener Sonnenuhr.
Riesling covers about 60 percent of the Mosel vineyards. The vines grow on steep slopes of weathered slate, which drains quickly and stores the heat of the sun, while the river reflects light onto the slopes. The wines are often light, fresh and lively, with a fine balance of fruit and acidity.
The vineyards are private, working land: walk only on public paths and do not pick grapes. Many estates offer tastings, often by appointment. In October the harvest is usually finishing.
