Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
Easily the most famous wine producer in Germany, the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region (often referred to simply as Mosel) boasts of some of the steepest vineyards in the world. This wine trail flanking both banks of the Moselle River is known for its slate-laden soil and is luxuriously sun-drenched for long months, resulting in high levels of sugar in grapes. The sweetness is balanced with acidity and minerals, resulting in the unique, crisp taste of Mosel Rieslings, the most popular wine of the region. One of the most important wine-growing towns in this region is Bernkastel-Kues, which also has a wine museum.
