Saale-Unstrut is Germany's most northern wine region. With around 650 hectares planted, often on steep south facing terraces, the area is known for its white wines from the Müller-Thurgau grape. In general it is difficult to produce Spätlese or Auslese style wines here, and although the temperatures are increasing, they tend to emerge only in the very best years. Pinot Blanc, Silvaner and Riesling are also prominent. There is also a small amount of the red skinned Dornfelder and Blauer Portugieser grown here.
