Baden

Just a stone’s throw from Alsace, or a three hour drive to Burgundy, warm summers with cool nights makes for impressive reds, and increasingly whites. The volcanic Kaiserstuhl serves as the heart of the appellation, while villages such as Malterdingen are famed for their limestone-driven soils. The terroir here is primarily composed of loess soils, complemented by loam, clay, and limestone, the latter being especially prominent in the northern zones.
