Before 1 August 2007 the region was called MoselSaarRuwer, but changed to a name that was considered more consumerfriendly. The wine region is Germanys third largest in terms of production but is the leading region in terms of international prestige. The region covers the valleys of the rivers Moselle, Saar, and Ruwer near Koblenz and Trier in the federal state of RhinelandPalatinate. The area is known for the steep slopes of the regions vineyards overlooking the river. At 65 degrees incline, the steepest recorded vineyard in the world is the Calmont vineyard located on the Mosel and belonging to the village of Bremm, and therefore referred to as Bremmer Calmont. The Mosel is mainly famous for its wines made from the Riesling grape, but Elbling and MullerThurgau also contributes to the production. Because of the northerly location of Mosel, the Riesling wines are often light, low in alcohol, crisp and high in acidity, and often exhibit flowery rather than fruity aromas.
