| | GERMAN WINE - THE GERMAN WINE REGIONS - MOSEL-SAAR-RUWER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) |
 | | The wines of the Mosel and its tributaries, the Saar and the Ruwer, are richly fragrant, pale in colour, lightbodied with a lively, fruity acidity. |
 | | The slaty soil imparts a distinctive taste to Mosel wines, ranging from fine-fruity to earthy, or "flinty". |
 | | Riesling wines of great elegance and breed grow best on the steep, southern-facing slopes, particulary around Wiltingen and Scharzhofberg in the Saar-Ruwer district and in the Middle Mosel district around Bernkastel, Piesport, Wehlen, Brauneberg, Graach, Zeltingen and Erden. |
