Discovering the wine region of Baden

Baden is the southernmost of Germany's 13 official wine regions. It is also the warmest. Its relatively sunny, DryClimate permits the production of good-quality Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) and ripe, relatively Full-bodied">Full-bodied examples of Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) and Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc). These are often made in oaked styles.

Baden is classified as zone B under the European Union's Vineyard">Vineyard climate classification. Every other German region is in chilly Zone A. Baden is, unusually for Germany, best known for its red wines, However its whites account for the majority of its output. Pinot Noir rules the vineyards here.

For every acre of Riesling (the dominant variety in almost every other German region), there are five of Pinot Noir. The next most commonly planted variety is Müller-Thurgau, followed by Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc.

Discover the grape variety: Müller-Thurgau

Müller-Thurgau shows the character of its noble origins. This Swiss white grape variety is a cross between the royal madeleine and the riesling. The idea that the latter was crossed with the sylvaner is irrelevant. The variety can be recognized by its vigorous character and its semi-erect habit. Preferring rich soils and short prunings, the plant sees its buds open quite early. The buds are cottony and soft green in color. The slightly embossed and tormented blade, with 5 to 7 lobes, makes it possible to distinguish the adult leaves. The clusters appear compact, pyramidal or cylindrical in shape and small to medium in size. The flavour of the Müller-Turgau berries is reminiscent of Muscat. The juicy and crunchy pulp is revealed under a greyish skin. When ripe, the fruit has a mottled shell on a golden yellow background. Switzerland prefers to extract the juice from this variety. The wine made from it is rather heavy and does not keep well.
