Blankenhorn

Baden producer of Chardonnay, Spätburgunder, and Bordeaux blends.

Blankenhorn produces wines from Baden, Germany's warmest wine region, where continental climate and varied soils support both classic German varieties and international grapes. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship wines: Sonnenstück Chardonnay GG, a Grands Cru expression of the region's capacity for structured white wines; Spätburgunder Trocken, the dry Pinot Noir that defines Baden's red wine identity; and Cabernet–Merlot Trocken Barrique, a Bordeaux-style blend aged in oak. These wines have been assessed by Falstaff, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. The Chardonnay demonstrates the mineral precision and weight that Baden's terroir can impart to the variety, while the Spätburgunder and Cabernet–Merlot reflect the region's ability to ripen darker-skinned grapes to full expression. Blankenhorn's range spans the spectrum of Baden's viticultural identity: from the aromatic and age-worthy whites to the structured reds that benefit from barrel aging.
