Frühburgunder – the quiet relative of Spätburgunder
Frühburgunder is one of the oldest German red wine grape varieties – and one of the least known. Yet it is worth discovering: the variety ripens earlier than Spätburgunder and produces wines that often appear somewhat softer and more accessible, with fine red fruit and a pleasantly velvety character. If you love Spätburgunder but are looking for something new, this is the right place for you.
Character in the glass
Frühburgunder wines are typically medium-bodied, with a light ruby color and a delicate, fruit-forward style. The tannins are usually smoother than those of its big brother, Spätburgunder – which makes it an uncomplicated pleasure that does not necessarily require long storage. In addition to the classic red wine, the variety also shows its skills as a Blanc de Noir: a white or rosé wine made from red grapes that combines freshness and finesse.
