Being that Freiburg im Breisgau is my hometown, I am somewhat familiar with wines from this region. Though living & working abroad I don't get to taste or drink these wines as much as I would like. It's interesting that although Muller-Thurgau has a high acreage, it's not a wine that you find often in restaurants, wine bars or mid-level supermarket shelves and VDP wineries don't bother with it that much. Spatburgunder, Grauburgunder and Weissburgunder seem to be the key 3 cultivars that all the Weinguts focus on and also that get drunk the most by the locals. Although, with Baden winning some Gold Medals at DWWA for Chardonnay, it also seems to be a varietal to watch. The differences between wine grown on volcanic soil and loess are quite striking and interesting. I found this video to be informative and a good introduction to the main sub-regions of Baden. Zum Wohl und Danke!

Very interesting about the Baden Chardonnay and some good insight in general. Danke!

Drinking a Chardonnay from Kaiserstuhl by Franz Keller while watching! By the way, I think a more fitting translation of Kaiser would be emperor. King is König in German.

Ah - thanks! Of course. Cheers!
