Zell [TSEHL] Although there are a number of German towns and villages named Zell, the best known in wine circles is the village on the Mosel River in Germany’s MOSEL-SAAR-RUWER region. It’s this village that’s the genesis of Zeller Schwarze Katz, the wine with the familiar black cat (Schwarze Katz) on the label. In 1971, Zeller Schwarze Katz became the name of the GROSSLAGE covering vineyards around Zell, and only wines from this Grosslage can use the name. Most wines using the Zeller Schwarze Katz name are simple, light wines, although quality can vary immensely. Zell also lends its name to the BEREICH that covers this region, Bereich Zell/Mosel, which encompasses the land from Zell northeast to Koblenz. This area is also referred to as Untermosel or Lower Mosel. Related Links: Bad Durkheim, Bereich, Doctor, Einzellage, Erden, Mosel
