Blue grapes -Red wine!!

White grapes-White wine!!

 

When you see the vineyards from a distance you can not see the grapes, however when you get up close you see the vines are laden with grapes.  Seeing this up close you start to realize the gallons and gallons of wine that must be produced along the Mosel.

The area is known for it's white wine, and in particular the "Riesling" variety.  And favoring white wine over red myself, I think they produce an excellent  white wine on the Mosel.

However 15 years ago they started growing blue grapes of the "Dornfelder" variety, and thus the Dornfelder wine was born.
