Spätburgunder

Spätburgunder is also known under the names Pinot Noir, Pinot Nero, Blauburgunder or Schwarzburgunder. This red grape variety is not only used to make red wines, but also rosé wines, white autumn wines and even white wines such as Blanc de Noirs.

Translated, Blanc de Noirs means "white from black". But that's just a side note. It is a grape variety that is probably at least 2000 years old and most likely originated between the Rhône Valley and Lake Geneva. Karl der Dicke brought the variety to Lake Bodensee in 884. A very noble red wine grape that produces full-bodied and flavourful wines with excellent ageing potential.

It gave rise to the Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Black Riesling and Pinot Noir grape varieties, among others, through mutations.
