German Red Wine
While Germany has traditionally been best known for its white wines – notably Riesling – its reds have been gaining significant acclaim in recent years. And by German reds, we’re talking Pinot Noir – or Spätburgunder, as is it known in the native tongue, plantings of which have grown substantially since the 1990s, notably in Baden. German Pinots tend to boast a particularly attractive velvety feel to them, harnessing the typical red-fruit sweetness of strawberry and cherry, but allied to a touch of herbal earthiness and sometimes a hint of spicy oak. For adventurous wine lovers keen to experiment, they offer a fine alternative to red Burgundy.
