The Hessische Bergstraße ("Hessian Mountain Road") is a defined region (Anbaugebiet) for quality wine in Germany located in the state of Hesse among the northern and western slopes of the Odenwald mountain chain. With only 454 hectares (1,120 acres) of vineyards it is the second smallest of the 13 German quality wine regions and is planted with primarily Riesling (49% as of 2006) and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir, 10%).

  • The Hessische Bergstraße ("Hessian Mountain Road") is a defined region (Anbaugebiet) for quality wine in Germany located in the state of Hesse among the northern and western slopes of the Odenwald mountain chain. With only 454 hectares (1,120 acres) of vineyards it is the second smallest of the 13 German quality wine regions and is planted with primarily Riesling (49% as of 2006) and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir, 10%). Hessische Bergstraße is divided into two districts (Bereiche) - Umstadt and Starkenburg - three collective vineyard sites and 24 individual vineyard sites. The region produces mostly dry wines but does have a sizable production of Eiswein. The wines from the best producers are in a style similar to that of Rheingau. The majority of the region's wine is produced by a winemaking cooperative based in the city of Heppenheim, to which about 620 of 850 growers of the region deliver their grapes. The state government of Hesse, through the Hessian State Wineries (Hessische Staatsweingüter) is the biggest single vineyard owner with 38 hectares (94 acres) and a winemaking facility near Bensheim. Because of the small production and a location rather close to densely populated areas, most of the wines is sold locally, and it is very uncommon to see Bergstraße wines outside of Germany.
