The Vineyards

Indulge in Shades wines, born from hand-picked Riesling grapes from Germany's dynamic Rheinhessen region. The vineyards of Rheinhessen roll across sun-drenched hills and fertile valleys, where loess and limestone soils nurture a diverse range of grape varieties, especially the region’s celebrated Riesling.

With a temperate climate and a lengthy growing season, our Riesling grapes ripen slowly, ensuring balanced acidity and optimal flavor. After hand-harvesting, our grapes are gently pressed and fermented to preserve their delicate fruitiness.
