The Ahr is one of the warmest German wine regions. Here, in the south-facing steep slopes with the heat-storing slate as the subsoil, high temperatures prevail into autumn. This is the reason that 83% of red wine is grown. From this Pinot Noir, velvety, sometimes lush wines with a sweet fruitiness are produced.
