The Pinot Noir (also called Weißer Burgunder or Weißburgunder) originates from the Burgundy region in France where it can be retraced back to the days of the roman empire. It is believed that this variety is the ancestor of the Pinot family which embraces varieties like Pinot Blanc (Weißburgunder) and Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder) among others. In Austria it is known since the Middle Ages. Nowadays it is commonly considered to be one of the best and most precious red wine varieties world-wide.
