In the 1980s, Wolfgang Zähringer was<br />

amongst Baden’s pioneers of organic viticulture.<br />

His son Fabian Zähringer has<br />

farmed the vineyards biodynamically since<br />

2010, certified by Demeter. At Weingut<br />

Zähringer even the entry-level wines are of<br />

high caliber. The entire range is alive and coherent,<br />

and the further up the list you go, the<br />

more substance, balance and mineral notes<br />

there are. The exquisite Weissburgunder “Orange”<br />

combines tension and smoothness, the<br />

Grauburgunder “Vierlig” does the same with<br />

body and precision. The red wines have equal<br />

character. An exciting range!<br />

Orange peel, quince jelly, caraway and malt in the expressive<br />

nose. On the palate there are tart, present phenolics, which<br />

provide freshness, citric notes, beautiful, powerful fruit.<br />

Strong and compact construction with traction and tension,<br />

never losing its suppleness. 13 Vol.-%. cork, €€€<br />

Fine spicy varietal fruit with pear and apple, toasted hazelnut,<br />

sesame hints and fine smoke. Opens with juicy and tart<br />

fruit on the palate, dry and with fine phenolics, combines<br />

fullness and extract in a charming and animating way. Refined<br />

and precise, natural. 13,5 Vol.-%. DIAM, €€<br />

Weissburgunder trocken<br />

mirabelle plums, some mint, orange zest and vanilla. With a<br />

firm structure and good density, well supported by wood, integrated<br />

and texture. 13,5 Vol.-%. cork, €€<br />

Some yellow fruit in the finely-interlaced nose, apple and<br />
