The vineyard is classified as VDP.Erste Lage and has a unique soil consisting mainly of loess on volcanic rock. According to Weingut Franz Keller, this combination creates wines with a unique character and a beautiful balance between power and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFranz Keller works here with Spätburgunder, the German name for Pinot Noir. The wine is spontaneously fermented and then aged for approximately 12 months in French barriques, with only a portion of new oak being used. This ensures that the fruit remains clearly present and the wine is not dominated by the oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kaiserstuhl is one of the warmest and sunniest wine regions in Germany. The combination of the warm climate and volcanic soils makes the area particularly suitable for Burgundian grape varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFranz Keller - Schwarzer Adler is a gastronomic institution in the Kaiserstuhl, in Baden, and even throughout Germany. There is a winery, a wine import and wine trade business, a hotel, and three restaurants. One of these restaurants, Schwarzer Adler, has continuously held a Michelin star since 1969, the longest of any restaurant in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover more wines from \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/franz-keller\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eFranz Keller Winery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Distinctions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVivino 4.1\/5 – vintage 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name Bassgeige literally means \"double bass\" or \"bass violin\".
