(Pinot noir) 

Origins
Pinot noir grapes are grown around the world, mostly in the cooler regions,. Pinot Noir is widely considered to produce some of the finest wines in the world and was brought to Germany by Charles III in 884 as “Clavner”.

Description of wine
Spätburgunder is ruby red and sometimes lightened by a warm yellowish reflection. It has a full flavour, with velvety fine aromas reminiscent of blackberries and  sometimes even bitter almonds - characteristic for the Pinot family.

How to store and combine with food
The wines are suitable for rich roasts, game or cheese. The fruity Pinot noir Weissherbst (rosé wine), whose importance is growing, goes with hors d’oeuvres, terrines and light roasts. Red wines age very well and require storing in wooden barrels. Sometimes the wines need time to develop their quality.
