Red wines: Blauburgunder
Synonyms:
Blauer Burgunder, Blauer Spätburgunder,
Pinot noir, Pinot nero
Wine:
Discreet bouquet, elegant, soft tannins. Despite some new vineyard planting, this grape variety, which made the red wines of Burgundy famous, is still under-represented in Austria. The Pinot Noir has a very fine bouquet that is difficult to describe, best perhaps as reminiscent of raspberries or almonds. Its taste has lots of fruity charm and elegance. Despite its delicate structure it ages better than many wine-lovers assume. In good – and especially in dry – vintage years it will produce remarkably fine wines in Austria as well, for example in the Thermenregion or in Vienna (Wien).
