Comment

This is a small, touristy area around the romantic castles and little towns along the Rhein, with very few quality oriented Riesling growers, who show what is possible in the region. Prices are low, too low indeed for supporting a healthy wine business, which is proven by the many abondoned vineyards to be seen along the river bends.
