Although the name literally means "black Riesling," this variety is not at all related to
the Riesling, but rather, it is an earlier-ripening mutation of the Spätburgunder (Pinot
Noir). The wines are deep in color, but generally lack the complexity of Spätburgunder. It is
frequently referred to by its synonym, Müllerrebe, and in France it is known as the Pinot
Meunier. It is grown primarily in Württemberg.
