The best producing vineyards in the Mosel region are located along the Mosel river, where the sun’s heat is maximized by reflections of the water, increased sunlight exposure aids in ripening of the grapes. Soil in this area is also dominated by porous slate, which has ideal drainage for the heavy rainfall typical to the region.
