Pinot Noir, also known as blue Burgundy, is a very old and extremely high-quality grape variety. In terms of cultivation, it is no less demanding than Riesling and loves mainly warm climates and deep, nutrient-rich soils. For this reason, we also grow the Pinot Noir in our steep slopes. The cultivation of Pinot Noir was prohibited at the Mosel from 1930 to 1986. There are now numerous areas planted with Pinot Noir, and for good reason: The Pinot Noir wines from the Mosel can certainly keep up with the "great representatives" of Burgundy.
Aromatic, the Pinot Noir has aromas of red forest fruits. The variety is extremely multi-layered, so that it ranges from tannin-heavy to velvety soft, depending on the production process. In terms of color, the wines shine in a ruby red to light cherry red.
Blanc de Noirs can be obtained from the red grapes by early pressing. With a little more time on the mash, a rosé is created. Our red wines initially ferment completely in special tanks before they mature partly in oak barrels.
