Intensely coloured, fruity reds with a dense purple robe, soft tannins and a generous palate, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum and floral notes. Made as light easy-drinking reds, popular semi-dry cuvées and more structured barrel-aged versions. The second most planted red variety in Germany (Palatinate, Rheinhessen, Württemberg). Cross of helfensteiner × heroldrebe created in 1955 in Weinsberg by August Herold.
Wine canton of eastern German-speaking Switzerland (Grisons), 423 ha at the heart of the Bündner Herrschaft (Fläsch, Maienfeld, Malans, Jenins). Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder, >70%): reds among the noblest in Switzerland, fine and silky with notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spices and a limestone mineral touch, delicate tannins - compared to the great Burgundies. Schistous limestone soils, a climate tempered by the foehn (warmest area of German-speaking Switzerland).
