Q

Describe the general climate and features of the Ahr

A

It lies along the Ahr River, though the river is too small to truly impact temperature. The low Eifel mountains create a rain shadow

Slopes are steep, up to 60-70% grade.

In the East, the lower-Ahr meets with the Rhine River, and has more clay soils, is lower altitude, and is warmer and more densely planted.

In the West, the upper-Ahr has more slate soils, higher altitude, and older vines. Phylloxera has a hard time taking hold here.

Q

What are some qualities about Riesling that make it suitable for cultivation in Germany?

A
  1. Hard wood protects the vines during cold winters.
  2. It is a late-budding varietal, so it is less likely to be affected by Spring frosts.
  3. It is a mid to late-ripening grape, so it can take advantage of longer daylight hours in autumn.
  4. It is drought resistant and prefers poor soils with good sunlight exposure: hence, South facing slopes with high grades of incline.
