The shore of Lake Constance.
Bodensee, the Baden district on the shore of Lake Constance, has only about 600 ha under vine. Glacial moraine deposits are typical of its soils, and Müller-Thurgau is the most planted grape. Müller-Thurgau was first planted in Germany on Lake Constance in the 1920s.
Two big names farm here. Staatsweingut Meersburg has about 63 ha, and the Markgraf von Baden's Salem estate has about 110 ha in the lake area, including Chorherrenhalde in Meersburg.
The wine island of Reichenau, a World Heritage Site, lies within the district. Pinot Noir is the other main grape, alongside Müller-Thurgau.
