BADEN
From Lake Constance to the outskirts of Heidelberg, a sunlit ribbon along the Upper Rhine defines Germany’s warmest growing area. In Baden, Zone‑B ripening, loess blankets, calcareous pockets and volcanic weathering around the Kaiserstuhl build dense vine physiology and steady acid frameworks. The Burgundian family leads: Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), Weissburgunder and Grauburgunder dominate, often from clearly delimited Bereiche, Einzellagen and cru‑like parcels. Large casks and barrique are used with restraint, as cooperatives and family estates translate the mosaic between Black Forest and Rhine into modern precision.BADEN
