In the property register of Kloster Tiefenthal, which was subject to Eberbach monastery, property ownership is documented for the first time in the early 13th century in the Rauenthaler Berg. According to documents from 1900 the Baiken was acquired by the Prussian government for 1.12 million gold marks. The name of Baiken comes from the term ?bending?, because the position is in a bend, The Baikenkopf is the fillet of the Rauenthaler Baiken vineyard. ? The grapes come from the most valuable plots of our VDP.GROSSE LAGE(R) sites. The vineyards were already considered in the oldest single vineyard classification map in the world from 1867. ? Intensive quality work allows the grapes to ripen perfectly during the growing season. ? They are selectively harvested by hand with a maximum yield of 50 hl/ha. ? The careful vinification to dry top wines takes place in our cabinet cellar. ? The commercialisation of these "Qualitat-" and "Pradikat" wines begins at the earliest on the 1st of September of the year following the harvest. For our Pinot Noir earliest two years following the harvest.
