One might expect a wine region this far north (50°N) to specialize in white wines – like almost every other cool-Climate wine region.

However Ahr producing around 85 percent red wines, of which around three-quarters are made from Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir).

Ahr Pinot Noir is now a much more Serious, modern and "international" wine style that it once was.

Until 30 years ago, the wines were often slightly sweet and very pale. Today they are invariably Dry and deeper in color – although still much paler than the inky Pinots found in, say, Central Otago. Across Germany (most obviously in Pfalz and Baden), assisted by climate change, the popularity of Pinot Noir has been steadily increasing. The wave of interest has carried German Spätburgunder to new heights, and saved from near-extinction the earlier-ripening Pinot Noir clone, Fruhburgunder.
