Baden
Baden is a wine universe. More than a third of its a.39,300 acres) are planted with Spätburgunder; and Weissburgunder, Pinots account for more than half of all vines. Those from top sites are qualitatively on a par with their international counterparts. Riesling and Silvaner also thrive here. The region s slim strip of vines stretches some 400 km (c. 250 miles) from the upper Rhine plain to the border with Switzerland. Baden is Germany’s warmest and sunniest region, with a climate as Mediterranean as its culture and lifestyle. Further south, between the Black Forest and Rhine meadows, lie the Ortenau district and terraced valleys of the Breisgau district. The ridges of the Kaiserstuhl (an extinct volcano) and Tuniberg (chalky hills covered with loess) draw near the Rhine. The mild climate, its varietal makeup, and diverse soils glacial deposits (moraine), limestone and shell limestone, coloured marl, clay, loess deposits, weathered granite, and soils of volcanic origin make Baden a land of great wine discovery.
