Zierfandler

Even in mediocre vintage years this grape variety quickly attains qualities from Spätlese upwards. Typical are the bouquet of almonds and pistachios as well as the fullness and elegance on the palate. Because of its powerful acidity the Zierfandler also has a relatively long maturation period; this applies all the more to Prädikat wine. With its regional counterpart, the Rotgipfler, it is often blended and is then known as the Spätrot-Rotgipfler.
