Terroir

• The vineyard sites of the regional wine area extend across elevations ranging from approximately 115 m above sea level to 520 m above sea level.
• Viticulture takes place predominantly on soils derived from the weathering of granite, gneiss, Muschelkalk, or volcanic rock, partly covered by loess deposits of varying depth.
• The area has a mean annual temperature of 9.3 °C to 10.8 °C, annual rainfall of 550 to 1,050 mm, and sunshine hours of up to 1,740 per year.
• The climate is characterised by an alternation of dry, hot weather periods and warm, humid conditions.

• A climate that in many parts of the area allows late-ripening varieties to reach full maturity, alongside harsher climates, shapes the region, producing wines whose character is expressed predominantly through vintage and variety, and which — owing to the frequently high levels of ripeness — can also be off-dry or sweet.
