Character

The Walis Badischer Landwein 2022 by Forgeurac represents the modern interpretation of Spätburgunder in Baden.

The dry style underscores the winemaker’s contemporary approach, which focuses on clarity and terroir expression.

Terroir and Origin

Baden, as Germany’s southernmost and warmest wine region, offers ideal conditions for Spätburgunder. The region benefits from its proximity to the Rhine Graben and the protective mountain ranges of the Black Forest. This geographical location makes it possible to produce Pinot Noir with the necessary ripeness and structure whilst retaining Burgundian elegance.

Winemaking Style

Forgeurac clearly pursues a purist approach that places the grape variety and terroir at the forefront. The classification as Badischer Landwein indicates deliberately uncomplicated, yet craftsmanship-driven winemaking – an honest Spätburgunder without unnecessary intervention.
