Comment

The local tribe, the Swabians, have a love affair with pale, thin, utterly unremarkeble red wines made from the Trollinger grape. The Rieslings are more interesting. Serious red wines are emerging, often made from Lemberger, or blends thereof, and with the use of new oak barrels, by members of the HADES group, among others.
