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 northern German-speaking Switzerland, nicknamed "Blauburgunderland". Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder, 60-70%): fine, silky reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spices and a chalky mineral touch, delicate tannins and taut freshness — compared to fine village Burgundies. Klettgau is the flagship sub-region. Müller-Thurgau whites (local Riesling-Silvaner) lively and fruity (apple, citrus).
