An early maturing grape and almost a rarity is the Clevner which originally comes from the Pinot/Burgunder family of vines.
It was originally brought to the region by French monks as far back as the 8th Century and contributed to the renoun of the Neckar Valley’s wines.
Nowadays, Clevner is cultivated around the Heilbronn region where it is carefully nurtured with much love and attention, even though yields are low. It produces fine wines of a beautiful, subdued red colour, tender bouquet and full body.
The Samrot is a mutation of the Schwarzriesling which it ressembles in character. Its fine acidity lends it a dignified elegance; Samtrot literally translates as “red velvet”. This is a festive wine par excellence.
