Franconia (wine region)

Map of the Franconia region. In the centre of the map, around Würzburg, the river Main makes a sharp turn which defines a V-shaped triangle often referred to as the "Main triangle", *Maindreieck*. Further to the west, Main makes two almost 90 degree turns, which give rise to an almost square U shape known as the "Main square", *Mainviereck*. To the southeast of the region lies Steigerwald.

Franconia (German: Franken) is a German wine region,^[1] mostly in north west Franconia. It is the only wine region in the federal state of Bavaria. In 2014, vines were grown on 6,176 hectares (15,260 acres) of land in the region.^[2]
