Nahe: varies wines, along the Nahe river southwest of Bingen
Rheingau: the best-known, almost all high-quality (Prädikat) Riesling, but Assmannshausen's red Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is also famous; right bank only, from Assmannshausen via Rudesheim to Wiesbaden
Rheinhessen: Germany's largest producer, along the left bank from Bingen through Mainz and south all the way to Worms
