<p>It may not sound politically correct, but <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/tag/germany/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">German</a> </strong>wine regions are still benefiting from climate change.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/premium/spatburgunder-12-fantastic-german-pinot-noirs-to-track-down-479990/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spätburgunder</a> </strong>– literally translated as ‘late <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine/wine-regions/burgundy-wine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Burgundy</a></strong>’, otherwise known as <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine/grape-varieties/pinot-noir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pinot Noir</a></strong> – is one of the main winners in the rising temperatures.</p>
<p>Warm vintages such as 2018, 2019 and 2020 have already brought noticeable ripeness and a marked rise in quality.</p>
<div class="ad-container ad-container--mobile"><div id="post-inline-3" class="ipc-advert"></div></div>
<p>The 2022 vintage was another standout, with German Spätburgunder earning recognition among the world’s best.</p>
<p>‘The wines from the 2022 vintage in particular were outstanding today,’ said Stefan Neumann MS after tasting these 58 Spätburgunder wines.</p>
<div class="ad-container ad-container--mobile"><div id="post-inline-4" class="ipc-advert"></div></div>
<h2>Growth potential</h2>
<p>Unlike <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine/grape-varieties/riesling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Riesling</a></strong>, Spätburgunder is still a ‘niche product’ in Britain, according to Mark Dearing. This is despite the fact that Germany cultivates 11,519ha of Pinot Noir, according to the Federal Statistical Office.</p>
<p>With a total cultivation area of some 120,000ha worldwide, the country ranks third, just behind France (about 32,300ha) and the US (about 25,000ha).</p>
<div class="ad-container ad-container--mobile"><div id="post-inline-5" class="ipc-advert"></div></div>
<p>The grape variety can now be found in all 13 quality wine-growing regions – and thus thrives on a variety of soils: limestone as well as slate, red sandstone, basalt, loess or Keuper.</p>
<p>‘The wines have expressed their different regional characteristics very strongly,’ said Dearing. Neumann was particularly impressed by examples from the <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/premium/the-fabulous-pinot-noirs-of-the-ahr-valley-528236/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ahr</a> </strong>and <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/premium/regional-profile-rheinhessen-418879/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rheinhessen</a> </strong>regions.</p>
<p>In contrast to the past, ‘the fine-tuning today is spot-on’, he added. ‘It’s the small differences in the handling of acidity, extraction and oak ageing’ that have led to the excellent results in this tasting. And you don’t need to spend a fortune:</p>
<p>‘The quality is consistent across all price ranges,’ Dearing said. The tasting’s biggest surprise was a 96-point Spätburgunder from <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine-travel/the-middle-mosel-for-wine-lovers-520200/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mosel</a> </strong>(<em>see recommendations</em>). ‘Mosel shows enormous potential – the cool climate and slate soils create a distinctive style,’ said Dearing.</p>
<p>‘This,’ Neumann added, ‘is where elegant, fresh, vibrant wines are made – the kind you’ll want a second glass of.’ ‘German Spätburgunder should be on the radar of every wine lover who appreciates expressive, terroir-driven Pinot Noir,’ Dearing said in conclusion.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Given the quality of Germany’s Spätburgunder wines, it’s worth erring on the extravagant side of possible food pairings. Fillet steak or beef Wellington, for example, rather than ribeye or venison; raw or seared meats such as carpaccios and tartares. (That applies to tuna, too.)</p>
<p style="text-align: center">That said, it also works well with the cured, sometimes smoky meats and sausages you find in Germany.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">There is also the reliable go-to of duck and other game birds. Partridge would be particularly fine. Thanks to the richness of many Spätburgunders, they can handle a bit of spice, too. Five spice, which you find in Chinese duck dishes, is particularly Pinot-friendly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">At this time of year there are also mushrooms of all kinds – a mushroom risotto is an excellent foil for a good Spätburgunder, ditto a mushroom stroganoff. Older vintages would be ideal for an autumn dinner party.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Spätburgunders are also generally easier to pair with cheese than Burgundy, especially with bloomy, white-rinded cheeses such as brie and the excellent British Baron Bigod.</p>
