Honey yeah yeah yeah. Point for me i mean i know youre on your way to becoming a pro. Night is falling over the wine route and the really lovely day is coming to an. Ashtray gotta take a longer move but our journey begins in a mysterious. While its pretty dark down here pretty chilly too im in top in taba on the Missouri River the city is known for these on the ground cellar vaults. Where are we what kind of cellar is this and one half of the green one of the Large Centers of the tartan tub under former wine cellar unfortunately they no longer use just such today. There are sellers under the whole of tartan tub because at the end of the 20th century it was a huge wine Trading Center people said it was the 2nd largest wine Trading Center in europe after bordeaux in france. In the year 898 alone some 18000000 leases of wine made their way from here out into the big wide world. In the course of i today. The 1st thing all visitors notice above ground is the bridge gate on the ms ill. At the beginning of the 19th century that was enough well be here to commission the well known berlin art nouveau architect bloom ruling he not only designed the bridge gate but also a number of villa us. Thanks part of the architecture characterizes topping top to this state a great place to start my journey along the missouri. Today i want to find out why the muzzle is one of the most beautiful river scapes in germany so im all for right along a part of the most ill psychopath. To call him but thats not all ill also be finding out why was no winds are so special. The nice thing about a bike path that runs along a river is that its fairly flat at least as long as its close to the water but most will belly also offers a lot of beautiful panoramas but for those you have to paddle a little harder. But its worth taking the detour up hill here for example are the ruins of cleaving book castle built in the 14th century it was repeatedly attacked destroyed and rebuilt until it was finally blown up in the 18th century from here i can get a fantastic view over the valley. Biking along the muzzle i can definitely recommend that most of the time you can ride along the water away from cars and streets through Natural Landscapes or small wine growing villages the river and the wind somehow they belong together especially near but its where youll find the probably the most famous vineyard in germany because of its steep slope i meet the wine maker. Why is the wine from the muzzle so celestial how does it differ from other ones. Its the soil. Because we have these steep shale slopes the slate found at these elevations warms the vineyards slightly due to its dark color the slate stores heat which is a mid to the grape vines a little by little. That means its always a little warmer up here on the hill than in the flatter areas and that helps the recycling most of all to ripen well because recently is a Great Variety that ripens relatively late but so here the recently mature is nicely without acquiring too high an alcohol content and due to the shale soil it has a great mineralogy you. Cant eat one. Yeah it can but it wont taste very good with which make were still too far from the harvest time so it wont be much of a treat youll notice that the grapes are still pretty hard but if you want to try go ahead and be admissions kind of into one. Or all like i said riesling ripens late into the autumn its still sour because theres still a lot of acid and not much sugar we have other
