Wine Regions of Baden-Württemberg
A Toast to the Sunlit Slopes of Baden-Württemberg
In the Kaiserstuhl and Markgräflerland regions, vineyards bask in extended sunlight. Baden is therefore the only German wine region classified in the sunny EU Wine Zone B. Leading wine experts rave: Baden rivals its French neighbors in excellence. Württemberg, known for Trollinger, Lemberger, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir is a classic red wine region. Unique Rieslings also thrive in Württemberg. Like its steep slopes along the Neckar River, Württemberg’s wine reputation is on a steep ascent.
