Max sein Wein

Max sein Wein
Max Baumann
Baden, Germany

Max Baumann makes wine near the river Main, the longest tributary of the Rhine. After gaining invaluable experience with a number of prolific wineries, Judith Beck and Gut Oggau included, Max returned here, to Dertingen with a new outlook on farming and winemaking. His philosophy in the cellar is: ‘as little as possible, as much as necessary’ and it was on this basis he created that label ‘Max sein Wein’, releasing his first vintage in 2016.⁣

Max gives his wines plenty of time in the cellar and matures them around 9–10 months in wood followed by approximately 6 months in the bottle. He likes to play with different techniques and is a master of cuvées. 

These are approachable but fascinating wines, for natural wine newbies and die-hards alike.
