Historical notes and wine
A publication from 1926 lists Tannacker as a field name with winegrowers’ cottages and recalls that some of the best Endingen vines once belonged to the town. The historical wine Endinger Tannacker Gewürztraminer Eiswein was produced from Gewürztraminer and was a sweet white wine made from ice wine; the 2001 vintage had 200 grams of residual sugar per litre and 11 per cent alcohol.
