Nahe (wine region)
Nahe is a region (''Anbaugebiet'') for quality wine in Germany,〔(Wein.de (German Agricultural Society): Nahe ), read on January 2, 2008〕 along the River Nahe in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. On the region's of vineyards in 2008, white wine grapes dominate with 75% and Riesling is the most common variety with 27.2%.〔(German Wine Institute: German wine statistics 2009/2010 )〕 A characteristic of the Nahe region is that the soils are very varied owing to the region's volcanic origins.
Although the region was populated already in Roman times, and the village of Monzingen was mentioned as a wine village as early as 778,〔Jancis Robinson (ed), ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'', Third Edition, p 468-469, Oxford University Press 2006, ISBN 0-19-860990-6〕 the Nahe wine region was defined only with the 1971 German wine law. Before that, the wines were sold as plain "Rhine wine". In recent decades, several Nahe producers have made a name for themselves with Riesling wines that have been rated very highly by international wine critics, and have come to be seen as being on par with the best wines of Moselle and Rheingau wines.
==History==
The Nahe was one of the last few German wine regions to develop significant plantings, being planted nearly six centuries after the Romans first cultivated the Mosel region. By the Middle Ages, viticulture was flourishing in the region under the care of Church-run vineyards. During the 19th century, the Nahe was considered one of Germany's finest wine regions and continued its prosperity till experiencing economic downturns following the world wars of the 20th century. While other German wine regions became more industrialized, the more rural Nahe fell behind and its resence on the world's wine market was dramatically reduced. Towards the end of the 20th century, reforms and renewed optimism among the Nahe winemakers would usher in a period of renaissance in the Nahe wine industry.〔T.
