2 editor-picked estates growing Sauvignon Blanc in Baden.
Where to taste Sauvignon Blanc in Baden: the estates that grow it, how the region expresses the grape, and how to book a visit.
Historic Schloss Neuweier estate north of Baden-Baden, owned by Robert Schaetzle since 2012 and majority Riesling from steep granite terraces cooled by evening Black Forest air.
Tasting: Tastings at the Schloss Neuweier grounds north of Baden-Baden, on steep granite slopes at 200-400 metres elevation.
Tip: The Mauerwein bottling from the Mauerberg Grosse Lage is the estate's most site-specific Riesling.
Durbach family estate under owner Josef Rohrer, twenty consecutive state honour awards deep and a national top-100 placing, working the valley's Klingelberger Riesling alongside Spaetburgunder and Chardonnay.
Tip: The estate's own Klingelberger, Durbach's local name for Riesling grown on its granite and porphyry slopes, is the wine to taste here before anything else.
