Durbach: Viticulture with depth and precision
Andreas Laible cultivates his vineyards in Durbach , one of Baden's most renowned wine villages, on the southeastern edge of the Black Forest. The steep slopes surrounding the village lie on weathered granite and gneiss soil—a terroir that imparts a fine minerality and clear structure to the wines, which can be tasted in the glass.
The winery focuses on Riesling and Pinot Noir. The Rieslings from Durbach exhibit an unusual tension for Baden: ripe citrus fruit, a hint of salinity, and lively acidity. The Pinot Noirs are full-bodied but not heavy—dark cherry, a touch of spice, and a long finish. Laible works extensively in the vineyard by hand, keeps yields low, and allows the grapes to fully ripen before harvesting.
Anyone looking for wines that clearly express the character of their origin without any gimmicks will find what they're looking for with Andreas Laible. These bottles pair perfectly with game dishes, aged cheeses, or a quiet evening with a good glass in hand.
