Palatinate is considered one of Germany's finest wine regions. No simplistic, boring, sweet wines here. But great wines, perfect accompaniments to many a dinner. Palatinate is also known as the Burgundy of Germany. This is largely due to the success of Pinot Noir. Paradoxical as it may sound, thanks to climate change, Pinot Noir has been producing phenomenal wines in Palatinate in recent years. This Von Winning Pinot Royale is the cream of the crop. It's a complete wine where everything seems to be just right. A German delight, one we love so much.
The German answer to an expressive Pinot Noir from Burgundy. As mentioned, we could hardly believe this was a German wine. It has so much aroma and flavor. A level of elegance that many wines can't match. The aroma alone makes us swoon: cranberry, dried red fruit, and a hint of vegetal: exactly as a Pinot Noir should be. The slightly spicy character betrays the oak aging of Von Winning Pinot Royale. The taste reminds us of a top Pinot Noir. All the aspects are present: the robust earthy notes, the ripe red fruit, and a certain spiciness that many would envy. A must-try with duck breast.
