ROMANA ECHENSPERGER MW
If all Burgundy varieties from Pinot Blanc to Auxerrois to Pinot Noir are taken together, then 30% of German vineyards are now
devoted to the Pinot family. Versatility in soil, climate, viticulture and cellar techniques provide an enormous variety of wine styles.
In this seminar we want to get to the bottom of the Pinot Paradise Germany. We will taste exciting sparkling wines, Signature Pinots
in white and red as well as trendy Rosés.
