The vineyards for this Pinot Noir, also known as Spatburgunder in Germany, lie just beyond the banks of the Moselle.
Peter & Peter's wine region
Pinot Noir grapes are very sensitive to weather conditions. However, the climate in Palatinate, which lies roughly in the triangle of Stuttgart, Cologne, and Frankfurt, is almost Mediterranean, thanks in part to the abundant sunshine. The rolling, dreamy landscape is ideal for viticulture. By planting the vineyards in such a way, you ensure that, for example, wind, to which Pinot Noir is quite sensitive, plays no role. Furthermore, the harvest of Peter & Peter Pinot Noir Pfalz is carried out manually, often because machinery is not an option in this landscape. After vinification, some of the juice is lightly aged in French oak, giving Peter & Peter Pinot Noir Pfalz a little more body.
