Baden stretches roughly 400 kilometres from north to south, with nine winegrowing subregions. The Odenwald, Black Forest and Vosges shelter its vineyards. The Kaiserstuhl is particularly warm. Pinot-family grapes cover 61 percent of Baden's vineyard area. Baden leads Germany in vineyard area for Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc. On labels, Pinot Noir is called Spätburgunder and Pinot Gris is called Grauburgunder. Northern Baden grows Rivaner, Riesling and Schwarzriesling. Further south, Breisgau, Kaiserstuhl and Tuniberg concentrate on red and white Pinot varieties. Around Lake Constance, Pinot Noir and Müller-Thurgau are especially common. Baden is Germany's only winegrowing region in EU Wine Zone B. This classification sets a higher minimum grape ripeness at harvest than elsewhere in the country.
