Regional info

The vineyards in Germany are mainly planted in the Southwest along the River Rhine. The vineyards for the Blue Nun wine are in the foreground of Langguth’s quality. Their philosophy is selection according to the “terroir” principle, which emphasises soil and localised climate. The soil is a combination of weathered slate, loess and loam of the slopes next to the River Rhine.
