Nahe's vineyards follow the Nahe River and its tributaries, the Glan and Alsenz, in western Germany. More than 180 soil formations occur here, including slate, volcanic porphyry, loess and loam. The Hunsrück shelters the region from cold winds, and the valley has mild temperatures, plenty of sunshine and relatively dry conditions. White grapes cover three quarters of the vineyard area. Riesling is the leading grape, and Pinot varieties are also widely planted. Riesling wines range from light and fresh to fuller, sweeter styles, often with crisp acidity. Peach, apricot and ripe yellow-fruit flavours occur across the range.
