Fine wine from Rheingau Germany

Rheingau is one of 13 quality wine regions in Germany. It follows the Rhine river from Hochheim to Lorch, within the federal state of Hesse. The region's roughly 7750 acres (3100ha) makes up only around 3% of Germany's total vineyard plantings. But it punches way above its weight in terms of its contribution to the quality and fame of German wine.
