Pfalz

Question 1

Pfalz , is one of the warmest winegrowing regions in Germany. True or False?

Answer 1

True. The climate is sunny and dry, and the region has an extremely complex soil makeup, with layers of red sandstone, calcium-based limestone, loess, red slate, basalt, igneous granite and alluvial gravel. The Pfalz is a natural continuation of France’s Alsace, which borders it to the south. In the Pfalz, the Vosges Mountains are rechristened as the Haardt hills, rarely rising to heights of more than 500 or 600 meters on this side of the border.
