The Nahe wine region is located in southwest Germany, near the border with France, and is known for producing a variety of high-quality white and red wines. The region's vineyards are planted on hillsides and escarpments along the Nahe River, which moderates the climate and contributes to a longer growing season.
The Nahe region is known for its Riesling wines, which are typically light to medium bodied, with flavors of citrus, green apple, and peach. Nahe Riesling wines are known for their high acidity, which gives them a refreshing, spicy character. The region also produces other grape varieties, including Müller-Thurgau, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir.
Nahe wines can be classified according to their level of maturity, with the most common levels being Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese and Beerenauslese. These wines vary in sweetness, with Kabinett being the driest and Beerenauslese being the sweetest.
The Nahe region is also known for its red wines, which are typically made from the Dornfelder grape variety. Nahe Dornfelder wines are medium to full bodied, with aromas of dark fruit, such as blackberry and black cherry, and a hint of spice.
