PINOT NOIR Tattendorf
2019

Wine-description:
Grown on alluvial gravel soil the grapes benefit from hot day- and cool night temperatures. This Pinot Noir shows an elegant tannin structure and a fine array of aromas – tender forest berries and smoky notes.

On the variety and origins of this wine:
The Pinot Noir – also known as »Blauer Burgunder« (literally: Blue Burgundy) – comes from Burgundy in France. There is documentary evidence that this variety was planted there in the 4th century A.D., cultivated by the Romans and distributed throughout the Roman Empire.
