Despite being the source of Niersteiner Gutes Domtal, the Rheinhessen contains some beautiful sites for wine growing and some fantastic soils too. There are red, iron rich parts as well as the more chalky sites. As ever Riesling is the star grape in the region and quality wines here are delicious. You`ll fine as many white peach fruited Rieslings as limey ones. (CW 23/01/12)
