Spatburgunder is simply the German name for Pinot Noir, and the Rheingau quietly makes some of the country’s most compelling examples. From organic grower Prinz in Hallgarten, this is a dry red built in the cool-climate, lighter-framed German style: think bright cherry-red in the glass, with black cherry and raspberry fruit, a savory edge and the kind of fresh acidity that makes it endlessly drinkable. It’s a great reminder that Germany does far more than Riesling, and an easy, food-loving Pinot to have on hand. Serve it with a slight chill and watch it shine.
