About Weingut Ratzenberger
Ratzenberger farms steep Riesling slopes in the side valley at Steeg, just above Bacharach, and runs a guided tasting through its range. It is a quieter alternative to the town-center estates for visitors who want a slower, more explained walk through the wines.
Visitors single out guided tastings, steep slate vineyards, quiet side-valley setting. The wines to look for are Riesling.
