Baden, Germany
Wines coming out of the Baden region are unique among the
German product as they are recognized for their strong flavor
and low acidity. Dominant among the numerous grapes grown
here is the Pinot Noir, which produces a red wine known as “the
aristocrat of red wines.” Baden, however, which is the country’s
third largest wine region, is also known as a haven for white
wine lovers, since Pinot Gris and Muller Thurgau grapes thrive
in the earth as well.
The wine estates and cooperatives here accept visitors with the
utmost hospitality and are often associated with small restaurants
in the area that offer food best suited to these fine German wines.
If you like to explore on your own and are a fan of the German
landscape, Baden is a wise choice.
