The Lower Main region – especially the so-called Mainviereck – is one of Franconia's most exciting red wine regions. Here, geological features, a mild microclimate, and centuries-old winemaking traditions converge.  

🍷 A red wine region with character: While Franconia as a whole is known more for white wines like Silvaner, the Lower Main region has established itself as a red wine stronghold. The red sandstone soils, in particular, offer ideal conditions for grape varieties such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Noir. These soils retain heat and ensure good drainage, which benefits the grapes. The mild climate along the Main River also supports the ripening of red wine grapes.
