Aargau is a canton and wine appellation in the Center of Northern Switzerland, located immediately west of Zurich and Southeast of Basel. Its northern border traces the Rhine river, which separates it from the southern German region of Baden; this close connection is evident in the Germanic style of many Aargau wines. To confuse matters slightly, the canton's main concentration of Vineyards centers around a town named Baden at its eastern edge.
Aargau produces mostly red wines, in keeping with the trends of other cantons in the German-speaking north of Switzerland.
They are produced predominantly from Pinot Noir (known here by its German name, Blauburgunder), which represents almost 85 percent of red vine plantings and 60 percent of the canton's total.
The next most popular red variety is Garanoir, a crossing of Gamay and Reichensteiner, followed by the alliterative trio of Dornfelder, Dunkelfelder and Diolinoir.
White wines make up approximately one third of production with Muller-Thurgau often given a starring role next to Pinot Noir when the region is mentioned. Pinot Gris, Chardonnay,Sauvignon Blanc and Kerner are found throughout the canton.
The geography which characterizes Aargau is not at all dissimilar from that which prevails across the Rhine: a Complex, gently swirling network of forest-capped ridges and hills dotted with towns, fields, vineyards and the occasional limestone quarry.
Geologically, the soils here are dominated by the Jura mountains. Aargau is at the very eastern end of the mountain chain as it peters out into gently undulating hills and valleys. Soils tend to be Jurassic limestone with varying degrees of clay and while in some areas, such as around Lake Hallwil, there is a Clear glacial influence with moraine deposits in the valleys.

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.
