2022 Markgräflich Badisches Weinhaus Weißburgunder Bodensee "Edition Schloss Salem"
Tasting note
Clear, clean appearance. Some CO2 bubbles are visible in the glass. I can imagine this was added on purpose to freshen the wine up a little, although I do not know this for a fact. Golden yellow colour. Ripe white fruits, pear and red apples on the nose. Also floral aromas. Overall, the bouquet is surprisingly nice. In the mouth, the wine is rather slender. Low acidity, almost non-existent, and subdued fruit. Nashi pear, just not very prominent. Somewhat watered down on the taste. Accordingly, the finish is (too) short.
Drink through 2024.
Tasted by Dominik Müller on Saturday, 18 November 2023.
Ratings
| Flawed? | no | |
| DM: |
2Wines with a DM1 to DM2 rating are subpar on a fine wine level. That means they have no technical flaws. However, they are typically one-dimensional, short in taste, or lack balance. Insofar, there might be something that I didn't like while tasting, such as a below-average tanning structure or an acidity that wasn't integrated very well. / 20 ("subpar") |

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. |
