Q

What is Fruhburgunder?

A

Known as Pinot Noir Precoce in France

  • Difficult to grow
  • Harvested two weeks before Spatburgunder
    At that time it is the only ripe berry in the region, making it a target for wasps and birds so it requires netting
  • Susceptible to millerandage
  • Thicker skins than Spatburgunder with more color but less acidity
  • Fruit flavors become concentrated and liqueur-like
