Germany's most northerly and most easterly major wine region (at 51°N latitude), Saale-Unstrut produces crisp, mineral wines from Müller-Thurgau, Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc), and Silvaner in the valleys of the Saale and Unstrut rivers. Its terraced limestone and shell-limestone soils create wines of unique mineral tension.
