Terroir

• The vineyard areas of the Baden appellation lie at altitudes of roughly 115 m to 520 m above sea level, between Lake Constance, the Hochrhein, the Upper Rhine rift valley, the Bergstraße and Tauberfranken.
• In the river valleys and at higher-lying sites of the Vorbergzone of the Black Forest, vineyard areas with a slope gradient of up to around 60% are mostly farmed in vertical rows (Direktzug).
• On the Upper Rhine, at Tuniberg and in the Kaiserstuhl, the vineyard areas are mostly laid out on terraces of varying size.
• The wine is mostly grown at sites where soils have formed from the weathering of granite, gneiss, Muschelkalk or volcanic rock, largely overlaid with loess deposits of varying thickness.
• The Freiburg im Breisgau site has an average annual temperature of 10.8 °C, rainfall of 955 l/m² and 1740 hours of sunshine per year.
