Affentaler

Baden Riesling and Scheurebe from a producer rated by Falstaff.

Affentaler is a Baden winery producing distinctive German wines from the region's classic varieties. The portfolio centers on Riesling in its dry expressions—both Kabinett and Spätlese Trocken styles—which balance the grape's natural acidity with the ripeness Baden's continental climate affords. The winery's Scheurebe Beerenauslese represents a departure into botrytized territory, capturing the aromatic complexity and honeyed concentration that this Riesling hybrid achieves under noble rot. Falstaff has assessed the range, with the Scheurebe Beerenauslese earning particular recognition. Baden's warm, sheltered conditions and diverse soils support both the precision of dry Riesling and the intensity of late-harvest selections, positioning Affentaler within a region known for wines of both structure and fruit-forward character.
