Accessible, juicy Pinot Noir made from Burgundy clones. This delicious red wine is produced by the famous quality winery Franz Keller . The vineyards of Keller are located very well-known area the Kaiserstuhl from wine region Baden (Germany). The Kaiserstuhl is the warmest and sunniest wine region in Germany and is characterized by volcanic soils covered with fertile high loess deposits that offer excellent wine-growing conditions for what they call the Burgundian sorts in Germany such as Weissburgunder, Grauburgunder, Chardonnay and Spätburgunder.
The wine is deep red in color with intense red fruit on the nose (red currant, strawberry, raspberry and red cherry) and a hint of smoke. Taste: juicy red fruit, a good grip in the mouth and nice freshness. Wonderfully fresh and juicy aftertaste.

The wine tastes great with light meat dishes or grilled fish, but can also go well with game.
