Rheinhessen, Germany

Nestled between the Rheingau and the Nahe lies a little gem called Rheinhessen. Long maligned as the source of sweet wine indulgences like Liebfrauenmilch and Gutes Domtal, this long-underestimated wine-growing region has opened up a whole new world over the past decade. There, innovation and a shift in mindset are the order of the day. Whether it’s Christopher Barth in Alzey, Bianka & Daniel in Flörsheim-Dalsheim, or Marto and Alanna LaGamba in Flonheim: this is a great place to make wine.
