Quick answers

What is Samtrot and where does it come from?

Samtrot is a red grape variety from the Pinot family and a true Württemberg specialty. It originated as a mutation of Schwarzriesling (Pinot Meunier) and is grown almost exclusively in Württemberg.

How does Samtrot taste?

Typical are ripe cherry aromas, a hint of mint, and fine chocolate notes in the background. The tannins are soft, the wine appears round and accessible overall — without the harshness of some other red wines.

What is the difference between off-dry and fruit-sweet Samtrot?

Off-dry variants have some residual sugar but remain fresh and not heavy. Fruit-sweet versions emphasize the cherry and berry fruit more strongly — both styles are uncomplicated and good to drink well-chilled.

What does Samtrot pair with at the table?

It accompanies snack platters, sausage salad, and lamb just as well as medium-aged cheese. Those who serve it slightly chilled bring out the fruit most clearly.

How do I recognize a good Samtrot?

Look for clear fruit without overloaded wood notes and for a lively acidity that prevents the wine from seeming flat despite soft tannins. A good Samtrot tastes honestly of its grape variety — not of the aging process.

Is Samtrot only for Württemberg fans?

Not necessarily. Anyone who appreciates red wines with fine fruit and few rough edges — such as light Pinot styles — will experience Samtrot as a welcome change that hardly anyone knows.

Samtrot – the gentle side of Württemberg

Samtrot is one of the quiet specialties of German viticulture – hardly known outside of Württemberg, but with an unmistakable character. At Vinoscout, you will find a small, hand-picked selection of Samtrot wines.

Origin & character

Samtrot is a mutation of Schwarzriesling and grows almost exclusively in Württemberg, where the variety has been carefully cultivated for decades. The name says it all: the wines feel soft, almost velvety in the mouthfeel, with little tannin and a bright, ruby-red color. Typical are aromas of red cherries, raspberries and a delicate floral tone – sometimes supplemented by a light spice. Samtrot is produced both dry and off-dry; in the off-dry variant, a subtle residual sweetness remains, which brings the fruit even more to the fore. This makes it an uncomplicated, accessible red wine that does not need a long maturation period.

Pairs well with

Vesper platters with cold cuts and pretzel pastries
Light pasta with tomato sugo or vegetable sauce
Grilled poultry and light meat
Mild red-smear cheeses or young Gouda
