Bad Dürkheim is an important German wine town in the North of the Pfalz wine region. The spa town was granted its Bad- affix in 1904, in recognition of its Mineral springs (bad means 'bath').
The Vineyards here are best known for their ripe, ComplexRiesling wines. These are among the most flavorful of all German Rieslings, thanks to the Warm, DryClimate.
Dürkheimer Rieslings are produced in varying levels of sweetness, from trocken to trockenbeerenauslese. Most examples are dry or off-dry.
Other white and red grape varieties are grown here in smaller quantities. These include Scheurebe, Gewürztraminer, Portugieser and Sankt Laurent.
The town of Bad Dürkheim is located right at the heart of Pfalz's prime vineyard area. To the South lie the villages of Forst an der Weinstrasse and Deidesheim, arguably Pfalz's most important in terms of wine quality. Immediately to the north lies Ungstein, with its famous Herrenberg vineyard, which abuts Bad Dürkheim's own, much-prized Michelsberg site.
Wine tourism is key to Bad Dürkheim's economy.
