Nahe Geography

A

West of Rheinhessen, SW of Rheingau, the Hünsruck Hochwald highland forest forms its NW border w/ Mosel. Great variation in topography, geography and soils generates a wider range of wine styles, hence the nickname “The Tasting room of Germany.” The best vineyards are generally located along the course of the Nahe River (a Rhine tributary) but also some along the tributaries Gräfenbach and Guldenbach streams in the north and the Glan and Alsenz river valleys in the south

Q

Nahe Climate

A

In a transitional zone between maritime and continental climatic influences. Protected from wind and weather on the north and west by wooded mountains, the region’s climate remains mild and dry—average annual rainfall is around 500 millimeters (about 20 inches), making the Nahe Germany’s driest wine growing climate. Most precipitation occurs in the summer months rather than over harvest, and frosts are rare

Q

Charta

A

est 1984, association in Rheingau, aimed to define and classify top vineyard sites and elevate dry Riesling. Members may list Charta on the label and/or the double arch logo. Erste Gewaches for dry Riesling and Spatburgunder from select sites legally recognized in Rheingau for the 1999 vintage, based on an 1867 Rheingau map, represented the first site-based quality hierarchy accepted into law in the wake of the 1971 legislation. Any grower who adheres to the guidelines and has shares in the land is permitted to use the Erste Gewaches labeling, which ends up covering 1/3 of the acreage in the Rheingau.

Q

Mosel climate

A

One of Germany’s coolest climates for wine growing, crossing the 50th parallel. Avg annual temp = 10° C (50° F), Avg growing season ~ 100 days, extended by 40-50 days at the best sites. Moderating effects of the river, vineyard aspect and orientation, altitude, and wind exposure are all crucial factors here. Warmest and best sites face S or SW at lower elevations with greater wind protection and are closer to the river which mitigates the danger of spring frost and encourages fall fog for botrytis

52
Q

Mosel soils

A

Thin, sandy topsoil covered with broken tiles of Devonian blue slate. Tiles are carried up the slope and strewn throughout the vineyard year after year. Dark blue slate provides erosion protection as well as heat retention and beneficial drainage which helps spread ripening in the cold, wet climate. The slate is acidic, extremely weathered and nutrient poor leading to nitrogen deficient must and low ph wine and thus sulfur derived aromas that combine with high acidity to exhibit token “minerality.” Certain parts of the Mosel, however, especially around Erden and Ürzig, are characterized instead by iron-rich Devonian red slate.

53
Q

Mosel Geography

A

The Mosel begins in the Vosges Mtns of France in the Moselle AOP. It travels NE exiting France and briefly serves as the border between Germany and Luxembourg at the Obermosel. It then continues NE in a winding fashion before converging with the Rhine R. at the city of Koblenz. The Mosel is 545 km total, over 200 km of which reside in Germany. It is the longest tributary of the Rhine. Mosel river valley is a gorge between the Hunsruck hills (SE) and the Eifel Mtns (NW)

54
Q

Mosel viticulture

A

The banks of the Mosel rise at precipitously steep angles, often 50-80% and up to 100% or higher. Cables and pulleys are req’d in some areas to move machinery. The upright, wireless single-post system, unique to Mosel, was traditionally employed to aide traversing vineyard workers. The system uses either a vertical cordon or two canes wrapped in a heart shaped bow. It requires leaf removal to improve airflow and reduce botrytis which increases sun exposure => TDN based flavors (petrol). Wire trellises appeared in the 1900’s and single-post has lost ground

55
Q

When and where, 1st winemaking in Germany

A

The Romans founded the city of Trier in the Mosel in 16 BCE. Viticulture flourished here in the 3rd century after Probus lifted the imperial prohibition on winegrowing in Rome’s provinces
