WüRTTEMBERG
Southern Germany's WüRTTEMBERG
region includes the cities of Stuttgart and Heidelberg
and continues to the vineyards of Baden (to the
north) with over 24,000 acres of patchy vineyard
sites loosely aligned with the River Neckar. Much
of the region has a continental climate with severe
winters. Its steep terraced slopes are attractive
to both wine lovers and tourists for their scenic
beauty. In some vineyards the gradient is over
30%, and irrigation is needed to reduce extreme
stress on the vines. This allows an increase in
potential alcohol of more than one percent.
WüRTTEMBERG
has the highest per capita wine consumption in
Germany, with an unusual enthusiasm for red varietals.
More than half the wines are red, usually with
very high yields: Trollinger, the largest red
category, at up to 12.6 tons per acre and Sp?urgunder
(Pinot Noir) as high as 7.5 tons per acre. M?ebe
(Meunier, also called Schwarzriesling) and Lemberger
are also grown. With such enormous production,
most red wines are very low in concentration and
tannins, with a smoky strawberry character popular
locally (perhaps exclusively). In white varietals,
about one-quarter of the region is planted with
Riesling, and Kerner and M?Thurgau comprise around
9 percent each. WüRTTEMBERG
has 20,000 registered wine growers, most with
holdings of two and half acres or less, so over
eighty percent of the harvest is delivered to
cooperative cellars for vinification. There are
also a few venerable high quality estates making
serious wines comparable to those from Baden;
thirteen of these are members of the respected
VDP organization.
