There's gold in them thar hills- #517

That's for sure.

These are the vineyards on the "other side" (i.e Hesse - boo, hiss...) side of the Rhine, with the Niederwald Memorial topping it all off. (Helen blogged it back in April)

Pretty much 100% Riesling and given that they get all-day sun and have their roots way down in (metamorphic) slatey soil, there's nothing much that can really go wrong.

Harvest, press, ferment, bottle, drink.

Nice photograph of the vineyards. I like the tower on the distant hill

This is a ripper of a photograph. I myself have a fondness for German wines.
