Locations and grape varieties
Tauberfranken is an independent wine-growing area in the Baden wine-growing region , which includes the vineyards between Bad Mergentheim-Dainbach and Wertheim-Dertingen. Two regional cooperatives , the winegrowers' cooperative in Beckstein (district of Lauda-Königshofen) and the Winzergemeinschaft Franken eG (GWF) in Kitzingen with the Tauberfränkische Bocksbeutelkellerei in Wertheim- Reicholzheim , collect and market the majority of the harvest. There are also some smaller private, self- marketing wine - growing businesses . The cultivation of the Müller-Thurgau vine predominates.
The parts of the Tauberfranken region and parts of Ortenau in Baden-Württemberg are the only German wine regions outside of Bavaria in which wine may be bottled in Bocksbeutel , which is considered a symbol of Franconian wine .
