Schwarzriesling, also known as Pinot Meunier, is a red grape variety primarily grown in Germany and parts of France. It is a mutation of the Pinot Noir grape and is known for its fruity flavors, often featuring notes of cherry, raspberry, and plum. The grape thrives in cooler climates and is often used in both still and sparkling wines. In the wine-making process, Schwarzriesling can produce wines that are medium-bodied with moderate acidity. It is commonly blended with other grape varieties, particularly in the production of Champagne, where it contributes to the wine's complexity and structure.
