    Product Description

    Frühburgunder is a mutation of Pinot Noir grown almost exclusively in western Germany. Frühburgunder ripens two-to-three weeks before Pinot Noir, which explains its name; Früh is German for “early”.

    Early ripening means the variety’s berries escape the onset of the harsh German winter. This would not be true of other Pinot Noir clones. Wines made from Frühburgunder share Pinot Noir’s red-berry and cherry.

    Saale-Unstrut is the northernmost of Germany’s wine regions, and is therefore one of Europe’s northernmost traditional wine regions. The wines from the Memleben Abbey were mentioned in the literature already in the year 998 AD. Because of the cooler climate Spätlese or Auslese can be produced only in exceptionally warm years and yields are generally low.
