Due to its extremely low yields, this grape variety was almost entirely forgotten. Fruhburgunder (Pinot Noir Precoce) is a version of its "big brother”, Pinot Noir. As the name suggests, this grape variety ripens two to three weeks earlier. The very small, thick skinned grapes produce fruity and full-bodied wines with an intense colour. Its velvety taste is characterised by a fine acidity and gentle, delicate tannins.
