Things are happening in Baden-Baden: the town handed over some six hectares of its municipal vineyards in the Silberbuckel, Eckberg and Schafberg to the care of Weingut Knapp. The fruit of the labours that have already gone into this project demanding both renewal and preservation – one hectare of old Riesling vines could painstakingly be rehabilitated – already bring great joy. The Riesling from the Mauerberg site is a bundle of joy that carries Baden’s conviviality in its heart. With grape varieties like Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Grüner Veltliner, both Heinz Knapp and his cellar master Urban Jung emphasise the fact that the future has already begun.
