Kaiserstuhl-Tuniberg
[KI-zuhr-shtool TOO-nee-behrg]

A prominent BERIECH covering the southern part of Germany's BADEN region, directly across the Rhine River from France's ALSACE region. K There are two distinct areas here—Tuniberg and the Kaiserstuhl, which means "emperor's seat." Vineyards for both areas are situated on volcanic hills. The region has undergone FLURBEREINIGUNG, whereby the hillsides have been carefully contoured and replanted into modern, efficient vineyards. The primary grape varieties planted in Beriech Kaiserstuhl-Tuniberg are MÜLLER-THURGAU, Rulander (PINOT GRIS), and SPÄTBURGUNDER (PINOT NOIR).
