Rheinhessen, Germany

Between Rheingau and Nahe is the little jewel called Rheinhessen. Long discredited as the origin of sweet wine sins such as Liebfrauenmilch and Gutes Domtal, a whole new cosmos has opened up in the last decade in this long underrated wine growing region. Right there, innovation and rethinking is on the daily agenda. From Max Dexheimer in Saulheim, Christopher Barth in Alzey, Bianka & Daniel in Flörsheim-Dalsheim, to Marto and Alanna LaGamba in Flonheim: here good wine is made.
