Baden is the most important German region for Pinot Noir. It is very popular in all its diversity of styles and flavors - also as rosé or Weißherbst. Velvety, powerful wines are increasingly matured in barriques. This isn’t the only Pinot here. More than half of the vineyards are planted with Burgunder varieties: Spätburgunder, the forementioned Pinot Noir; Grauburgunder, a dry, food-compatible wine, here often marketed under the synonym Ruländer to denote a richer, fuller-bodied (and sweeter) style; and Weißburgunder, neutral enough to accompany many foods. The local ‘Badisch Rotgold’ is the name of the rosé-colored specialty made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.
