Red wine from the Mosel
Red wine from the Mosel
It took time for red wine to establish itself in the Mosel region, largely due to the longstanding focus on white wine production. This focus was so strong that in 1933, winegrowers were legally required to cultivate white grape varieties, effectively bringing red wine production along the Mosel to a halt. It was not until 1986 that this changed, allowing red grape varieties to be planted again. Since then, red wine from the Mosel has experienced a steady and remarkable development.
Red grape varieties along the Mosel
A few dozen red grape varieties are permitted in the Mosel region, but only a small number are cultivated on a significant scale. The majority of red wines from the Mosel are produced from Dornfelder and Pinot Noir grapes, which together account for most of the region’s red wine production. According to the 2019/2020 wine statistics, Pinot Noir alone makes up around half of the total area planted with red grape varieties, covering approximately 408 hectares.
