ORIGINS

Winery: Salwey

Region: Baden

Baden is German’s warmest wine region and is located in the southwest corner of the country, bordering France and Switzerland. It is the warmest and sunniest of Germany's 13 wine-producing regions, and is renowned for its white wines, particularly Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) and Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris). Baden has a long history of winemaking, with evidence of viticulture dating back to the Roman era. The region was once part of the Duchy of Swabia, and was later divided into numerous smaller states. In the 19th century, the region was unified and its wine industry flourished. Today, Baden is the third largest wine region in Germany, with over 15,000 hectares of vineyards.
