not-too-heavy Trollinger red wines are simply as classic Wuerttemberg as anything
I tried a very nice one: the 2023 "Sankt M" Trollinger dry red wine
My notes: Lively aroma with notes of currant jelly and sour cherry jam; spicy body with a fine temperament
a classic with Gaisburger Marsch—more on that below
<a href="/images/Anbaugebiet_Wuerttemberg.jpg" target="_blank" class="jcepopup" data-mediabox="1"></a>
Wuerttemberg is Germany's fourth-largest wine-growing region
The vines are found primarily along the Neckar River between Ludwigsburg and Neckarsulm
as well as west of it in the Heuchelberg and Stromberg hills
further in and around Stuttgart inclusive the Remstal valley
and also in patches near the Lake Constance
The two maps (click to enlarge) provide the full details
are reflected in the minerality of many wines
<a href="/images/wuerttemberg-grafik.jpg" target="_blank" class="jcepopup" data-mediabox="1"></a>
which represent in this case my own opinion)
I'd like to emphasize excellent light wines that always give me particular pleasure
is located in the Zabergäu of the Heuchelberg region
The vines there grow primarily around the Michaelsberg
It was probably brought from the Austrian town Limberg
where it ranks third with approximately 1,750 hectares

and a touch of eucalyptus; on the palate a very intense red wine with further toasted notes
and a hint of black pepper; very well-balanced length
with the toast and eucalyptus touches reappearing—very harmonious with plenty of potential and a great match for the famous Swabian roast beef with onions
The red variety grows in Germany with around 70% of its production in Wuerttemberg
where it grows primarily in the Champagne region and contributes a significant portion of the grapes used to make classic Champagne
where limestone cliffs 'stand guard' leading down to the Neckar Valley
where they are called Felsengärten (rock gardens) near Hessigheim
The vineyard site in the photo is called Katzenbeisser (Cat-biter) because the wine prices literally tore a hole in the walltet (because the wallets were called money cats in those days)
Many wines and information with links can be found at <a href="https://www.echt-wuerttemberger.de" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">www.echt-wuerttemberger.de</a>
which produce around 70% of the Wuerttemberg wines
The site also features numerous events and wine tastings

<a href="/images/AdobeStock_44168343-web.jpg" class="jcepopup" data-mediabox="1"></a>The red wines mentioned are fitting particularly well with Swabian onion roast beef
classic roast beef with roasted onions and spaetzle
and together they convey a real Swabian feeling
Other specialties include the famous Maultaschen (Swabian Ravioli)
pasta dumplings with a basic filling of sausage meat
comes from the Stuttgart district Gaisburg
Other recommended destinations are Ludwigsburg Palace and the picturesque town Tuebingen

but if you want to experience the Wuerttemberg wine-growing region up close
Vines cling to the mountainside on both sides of the path
where vine leaves rustle in the wind and lizards scurry about
wine cooperatives and numerous wine taverns invite you to stop and enjoy a drink
<a href="https://www.weinwege-wuerttemberg.de/weinwege/weinwanderwege/#/article" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="jcepopup" data-mediabox="1"></a>At Tourismus Marketing GmbH Baden-Württemberg you will find a total of <a href="https://www.weinwege-wuerttemberg.de/weinwege/weinwanderwege/#/article" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">137 local suggestions</a>
as well as the large Württemberg Wine Hiking Trail
a long-distance hiking trail of the Swabian Alb Association
which stretches from Aub in Bavarian Franconia to the former imperial city of Esslingen on Neckar with a total of 313 km
