Spätburgunder

Spätburgunder is the German name for Pinot Noir, one of the world's most renowned red grape varieties originating from Burgundy, France. In Germany, Spätburgunder produces elegant, light to medium-bodied red wines with bright acidity, red fruit flavors (cherry, raspberry, strawberry), earthy undertones, and often subtle spice notes. It thrives in cooler climates and is particularly successful in German regions like Baden, Ahr, and Pfalz, where it produces wines ranging from light and fruity to more structured and age-worthy expressions.

Spätburgunder Wines

Roterfaden & Rosswag Terraces Red comes from the steep limestone terraces of Württemberg – a German wine region that deserves way more attention than it gets. This blend brings together the local hero Lemberger (aka Blaufränkisch) with Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, creating a wine that's distinctly German yet accessible to international palates. The 'Terraces' in the name refers to the dramatically steep vineyard sites where these grapes are grown – vineyards so precipitous that most work must be done by hand, making mechanization impossible. This labor of love results in a wine with remarkable freshness and mineral definition that speaks clearly of its unique origin. It's the perfect bottle for those looking to explore beyond the Riesling stereotype of German wines and discover the country's excellent reds. Think of it as your vinous tour guide to a side of Germany that most wine drinkers never get to experience.
