| Peter Jordan of the former Jordan und Jordan wine estate (now van Volxem) made a wonderful Kerner-and-Riesling based wine called Benchmark in 1994, using the methods employed to make vin santo. This wine was never commerically available but those who tasted it were extremely impressed. Unfortunately that patch of Saar Kerner is no longer available; it's been replanted to Riesling..

You are quite right that Schwarzriesling is a a mutation of Pinot Noir and is Pinot Meunier to the French. I was, of course, thinking of Spätburgunder which is the equivalent of Pinot Noir. Spätburgunder can be a surprisingly good wine and a local wine, a 2002 Marbacher Neckarhälde Kabinett - grown by the way on some of the Neckar river terraces which are almost at the bottom of our garden - impressed us enough that we bought half a dozen (in a local supermarket) to lay down. I'm rather curious to see what it's like after a few years. I agree with you that where white wines are concerned Rieslings have deservedly made Germany's reputation in the wine world But I don't underrate Kerner which is often a surprise for those who have never tried it.
