Top 9 Baden-Württemberg Red Wines

Weingut Martin Waßmer is a family-owned winery located in Bad Krozingen-Schlatt in the Baden region, specifically within Markgräflerland in southwestern Germany. Established in its modern form in 1997, the estate quickly gained recognition for its strong focus on Burgundian grape varieties and winemaking philosophy. The vineyards are situated on high-quality sites such as Dottinger Castellberg and Schlatter Maltesergarten, where low yields and careful vineyard management ensure concentration and precision. The winery is particularly known for its Spätburgunder, alongside Chardonnay and other Burgundy-inspired varieties. Winemaking emphasizes minimal intervention, often using natural fermentation and aging in French oak barriques to enhance complexity and structure. The wines are defined by elegance, balance, and clear expression of terroir, rather than power. Today, Weingut Martin Waßmer is considered one of the leading producers in Baden, especially noted for its refined and internationally respected Pinot Noir wines.Expand
