"Pro Riesling"

Some wineries in Rheinhessen are members of the "Association for the promotion of Riesling culture eV - Pro Riesling", which was founded in 1985 in Trier. Their aim is, to raise awareness for Riesling as the most noble German grape variety. The regional group is especially focused on the Riesling grown in Rheinhessen ("Pro Riesling Rheinhessen"). Every two years the national competition for the Riesling Producer Award takes place, during which the winners from Rheinhessen present themselves in a gala in Mainz.
