2023 Bio Weingut Maier Saisonauftakt
Tasting note
Pale lemon colour. Fruity, fresh bouquet of light-coloured fruit. Ripe pear, white peach, a little honeydew melon. Also a hint of red berries, wild strawberries. Rather subtle intensity. Slender body on the palate with light acidity and a fruity sweetness. Now some green apple, lime, sweet strawberry. Likewise on the finish. Beautifully fruity and uncomplicated. Just off-dry in style.
Drink from 2024 through 2026.

| Region: |
Baden Baden is Germany's southernmost wine growing region. It stretches about 400 kilometers from north to south along the Rhine. Baden is also Germany's warmest wine region. Much like its French neighbour Alsace, its climate is heavily influenced by its location in between the Vosges and the Black Forest, shielding it from cold winds and heavy rains. Best-known for Burgundian varieties, especially Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder), Pinot Blanc (Weißburgunder) and Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder). More than 15,000 hectares of vineyards. Diverse soils, ranging from loess and volcanic stones in the Kaiserstuhl region to shell-limestone in Tauberfranken. |
