In Germany, Pinot Meunier is often referred to as Schwarzriesling, especially in the regions of Baden and Württemberg. It is a red grape variety with thin skins, and it's primarily used in the production of sparkling wines, as well as in some red wine blends.
Pinot Meunier ripens earlier than Pinot Noir, and it is valued for its ability to contribute fruity and floral aromas to wines, as well as its good acidity.
Alcohol can be addictive. Always drink in moderation.
