Ruppertsberg is a small Village immediately south-east of Pfalz/deidesheim">Deidesheim, at the heart of the Pfalz wine region in Germany. For its Size (the population is around 1500), the village produces a remarkable proportion of Pfalz's very finest wines. These are almost all made from Riesling, in a style markedly richer and riper than that found almost anywhere else in Germany. In Warmer years, Tasting notes for these wines refer to sweet-spiced apples, baked pears and even pineapple.
Those for drier wines from cooler vintages hint at preserved lemon, Green apple and chalky minerality.
The reason that Ruppertsberger Riesling is so noticeably fuller-bodied than that from other German regions (e. g. Mosel) is Pfalz's relatively Dry, warm Climate.
This is caused by the low-lying Haardt Mountains, which run along the region's western edge, forming a natural barrier against cold winds and rain blowing in from the west. The same effect is experienced in neighboring Alsace, where the vineyards shelter in the rain shadow cast by the Vosges Mountains (the Haardt range's southern counterpart).
Because of the success the village's winegrowers have had growing Riesling in their terroir, the vineyards here are planted with very little else. There are a handful of successful Ruppertsberger Gewürztraminer and Scheurebe wines, but these are very much in the minority.
