Baden

Baden is Germany's southernmost and warmest wine region, stretching along the eastern bank of the Rhine River from the Swiss border to Heidelberg. Its climate varies from cool northern areas to the sun-drenched southern districts, allowing for a diverse range of grape varieties with Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris), and Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) dominating production. Unlike other German regions that focus on Riesling, Baden is known for its full-bodied, dry wines with Burgundian influence, reflecting its proximity to France's Alsace region.

Shelter Winery Lovely Lilly Pinot Noir

Shelter Winery's 'Lovely Lilly' Pinot Noir comes from Germany's Baden region – the country's warmest wine region, situated in the southwest along the Rhine River across from Alsace. While Germany is primarily known for white wines, Baden is a red wine stronghold where Pinot Noir (known locally as Spätburgunder) has been cultivated for centuries. Husband and wife team Hans-Bert Espe and Silke Wolf founded Shelter in 2003 with a focus on minimal intervention winemaking and organic viticulture. Named after their daughter Lilly, this Pinot Noir showcases the elegant, ethereal style that's possible in Germany's cool climate – more Burgundian in character than the riper, more powerful versions found in warmer regions. It's the perfect bottle for Pinot lovers looking to explore beyond the usual suspects and discover why German Pinot Noir has been gaining recognition among wine enthusiasts. Sometimes the most delightful discoveries come from unexpected places.
