Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
More informations about the region of Ahr
German sub-region of the Ahr valley (Rhineland-Palatinate) around Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, steep vineyards on slate and schist, rare northern red wine zone. Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir, >60%) as the signature red: fine and silky with red cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, smoke and a slate mineral touch, melted tannins and taut acidity — a great northern expression of Pinot. Frühburgunder as an early-ripening, fruity complement.
