Definition: schiller

Historically and oenologically, Schiller is a product of chance. In 1635, when Pinot Noir was introduced, winegrowers planted it among their white grape varieties, vinifying the two types together. Today, Schiller continues to be made from white and red grapes from the same plantation. The proportion of red wine remains the largest.
The wine has a salmon colour, with aromas of raspberries, strawberries and quince. On the palate, it has an intense fragrance, body and fullness. Schiller is best served chilled as an aperitif, with fish or smoked meats.
