The tiny region Hessische Bergstrasse takes its name from an old Roman trade route known
as the strata montana, or mountain road. It is a pretty landscape of vines and orchards
scattered on hilly slopes — famous for its colorful and fragrant springtime blossoms, the
earliest in Germany. Riesling and Müller-Thurgau account for two-thirds of the area under
vine. The wines tend to be fragrant and rich, with more body and an acidity and finesse
similar to those of the Rheingau.
