located in the valley of the river Ahr (a tributary of the Rhine river), Ahr is one of
the smallest of Germany’s 13 wine regions. It is located within the federal state of
Rhineland-Palatinate and is the world’s northernmost wine region with red wine
grape production. The region is known particularly for its Pinot Noir (known in
Germany as Spatburgunder) wines, as well as its Portugieser and Riesling
wines.
