Pale golden-yellow with faint traces of residual CO2 in the glass. The nose is rounded and inviting with good intensity, led by a remarkably clear, concentrated green apple character. This ripe fruit profile—strikingly fresh for its age—is balanced by nutty and white floral nuances, alongside integrated yeasty and creamy notes. On the palate, a lovely, supple creaminess is offset by fresh acidity, zesty citrus, and crisp green apple. Though the fruit spectrum is relatively focused, the wine offers notable depth and texture. The finish is of medium length, subtly nutty, with a touch of grapefruit.
Drink through 2028.

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. |
