Affentaler
[AH-fen-tah-ler]

The shortened name of Affentaler Spätburgunder Rotwein, a German red wine made from Spätburgunder (PINOT NOIR) grapes in the BADEN region. The wine, which ranges from DRY to sweet, can be of QBA or QMP quality. Affentaler is produced in the area south of Baden-Baden around the villages of Bühl and Eisental. The word Affental translates to “monkey valley,” which is why Affentaler wine bottles display an embossed image of a monkey.
