A large source of much rubbish, yet this is also the place to look for some of the best non-Riesling wines in Germany, as well as plenty of top class Rieslings. Dry whites can be world class, esp. from Riesling, Scheurebe, Weiss- and Grauburgunder, and so too can be its dessert wines (also from Rieslaner, besides Riesling, as well as Scheurebe and Muskateller). Serious red wines are being made too, though not on the same level as the whites imho. They often represent better value then fashionable reds from Baden. The famous old estates (Bassermann-Jordan, Bürklin-Wolf, von Buhl, Deinhard) have at times been struggling to keep up with the stiff competition from various smaller estates and younger growers, but recently the "big B's" have been on a good track again. Overall, this is a very dynamic region, offering much pleasure to wine lovers.
