Winklerberg

single vineyard in the municipality of Ihringen (Kaiserstuhl area) in the German wine-growing region of Baden. The Winklerberg forms the southern foothills of the Kaiserstuhl. Ernst Georg Lydtin, a doctor from Ihringen, rendered great services to the reclamation of the area. In 1813, he acquired part of a former dolorite quarry and planted vineyards. In the course of time, the land was constantly cleared and the terrain was partly fortified with retaining walls up to eight metres high. The Winklerberg, which is completely protected against the cold north winds, is considered the warmest German location with an almost subtropical climate. This was determined on site by Professor Dr. Karl Müller (1881-1955), the director of the Freiburg Viticulture Institute from 1928 to 1932.
