The Middle Rhine is - thanks to the Loreley - the tourist attraction in German viticulture. As a growing region, however, it is overshadowed by its two more famous neighbours: the Rheingau and the Moselle. Yet Riesling vines also grow on slate soils between Bacharach and Boppard, and the steep slopes of the Middle Rhine can easily rival those of the Moselle in drama.
Stylistically, however, the Riesling of the Middle Rhine has a very distinctive profile: it is more austere and pithy than the Rheingau, but at the same time more floral and berry-like than that of the Mosel.
In one respect though it resembles its two neighbours: the fruity and noble sweet Prädikat wines are wines of great ageing potential.
Late and Auslese wines from older vintages are excellent companions at the table.
