Variety: Pinot Noir

Our signature wine. This special Pinot Noir was harvested as an “Auslese” and vinify dry. Then three years of aging in new french oak barriques.

The Pinot “Ritter” is a real charmer, noble and powerful in taste – a knightly wine without fear and blame. The high alcohol and extract values ​​promise a long life. Let this knight caress you gallantly.

Tasting: deep ruby red, dense nose, typical burgundy aromatic with multifaced nuances, dark beeries, fine wood and spice unite on the palate in a velvety and full-bodied finish. To young to drink but irresistible.

  • Vinyard Umriss

    The highest elevation of the Grossriede “Umriss” is planted with our Burgundies. The limestone and shell limestone soils create perfect conditions for great,  wines.

  • Aging potential

    strong Pinots have always had their place with us. Wonderful for long storage and bottle aging, which only show their full potential over the decades.

  • Pinot Gris white but different

    Orange Pinot Gris Ried Kreften was fermentated on the mash (whole berries). Due to the contact with the grape skin, the wines get a more intense color and more tannin.
