rheingau

<p>A small region of 3000 ha along the Rhine River, the Rheingau produces stunning wines from Riesling and Sp&auml;tburgunder (Pinot Noir). The landscape of the region varies from steep slatey terraces to the west, to gently rolling hills and plains in the east. Despite being one of the most northern regions of Germany, it is able to produce some of the richest, ripest Riesling and Pinot Noir owing to most vineyards possessing a southerly aspect thus receiving sufficient sunlight and heat. Rheingau&rsquo;s wines have ample body, richness and concentration while still retaining piercing acidity and minerality. The Pr&auml;dikatswein from Rheingau tend to have higher alcohols (8-12%) and less sugar for each category compared to the wines of the Mosel. The best vineyards producing the highest quality wines are located around the villages of Rudesheim, Geisenheim, and Johannisberg.</p>

mosel-saar-ruwer

This picturesque region follows the steep valleys of the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer Rivers that flow north toward the Rhine. It is home to the some of the most beautiful, delicate and age worthy Rieslings in the world. Due to limitations of the landscape, the region has only 8800 ha of vines mostly growing in steep terraced vineyards anchored on thin slatey soils. The rocky soils absorb the essential warmth that this cool region requires to ripen the fruit. Many wines from the Mosel are produced according to the Prädikatswein classification based on the ripeness of the grapes at harvest and the style of wine produced. Although dry styles are made, the region is best known for sweeter wines that range from the lightest Kabinet, to Spätlese, Auslese to the very sweet botrytis dessert wines of Beerenauslese (BA) and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA). The sweet and delicate, perfumed wines tend to be lo

rutherglen, vic

Warm climate/Elevation 160m Rutherglen in northeast Victoria is known for its fortified wines that represent a distinctive Australian style, particularly its Muscats and Tokays. George Frederick Morris established the first vineyard in 1859. During the late 1880s, Rutherglen enjoyed a substantial export market to the UK, but experienced harder economic conditions during the 20th century. The sheer quality of the wine has kept the region going. The climate here is warm to hot, with a high degree of continentality and low relative humidity. The soils range from gravels to red and sandy alluvial loams. It is generally considered that the best vineyards are located on red loamy soils. Most of the vineyards, at around 160m, are on gentle slopes and close to the Murray River. Andrew Caillard MW, Langton's
