Schwarzriesling is the German name for Pinot Meunier, the Pinot Noir relative most often used in Champagne cuvées. Engel grows it on pebble-stone soils — Kieselstein in German — and turns it into a barrel-aged red.

Hand-picked grapes, 30 days of maceration with stems, 24 months ageing split 50/50 between barrique and tonneau, bottled unfiltered.

Dark cherry red. The nose carries fresh cherry with dried herbs and rose petal. Fine, fruity cherry on the palate with firm tannins and a dry, taut finish.
