Description

Weingut Salwey in Oberrotweil is proud of its history as a classic family-run estate. Yet that tradition only tells part of the story. Konrad is the third generation of Salwey to run the winery, which focuses on Pinot varieties traditional to the Kaiserstuhl region. The estate is renowned for its fine vineyards, including three "Erste Lagen": Oberrotweiler Henkenberg, Eichberg and Kirchberg. Konrad Salwey is renowned for his willingness to experiment. He knows it takes daring to try new techniques, and nerve to move on if need be - all in the interest of making better wine.

The Steingrubenberg Pinot Blanc is racy, with an invigorating acid structure and citrus aromas. Due to the long storage on the yeast and the bottling without filtration, it needs some time to mature in the bottle in order to develop its full aroma and integrate the acidity.

Weingut Salwey

This family-owned winery is located in the heart of Kaiserstuhl, an extinguished volcanic belt and the sunniest region in Germany. The family viticultural roots reach back to the 18th century, it is currently operating in its third generation under the Salwey name. Today, remnants of the region’s past like different lava, magma, volcanic stones and loess create a unique soil mineralization and terroir composition. This gives each wine its very own character.

Baden

Baden, the southernmost wine region in Germany, is renowned for its diverse and high-quality wines. Benefiting from a warm climate, similar to that of Alsace just across the border, Baden is ideal for viticulture. It is particularly celebrated for its Pinot varieties, including Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), which is known for its rich, full-bodied flavours and elegance. Baden also excels in producing Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris), which are appreciated for their aromatic profiles and balance. Additionally, the area produces excellent Riesling and Müller-Thurgau. The varied soils, from volcanic to loess, contribute to the unique character of Baden wines. With its blend of traditional winemaking and innovation, Baden offers a diverse and delightful wine experience for enthusiasts seeking top-quality German wines.
