The Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) grapes of Assmannshäusen were brought
there from the Burgundy region of France by Cistercian monks in the 12th
century.

Besides in Assmannshäusen, spätburgunder is widely grown in the Ahr Valley,
just south of Bonn. The liblich-versions are good drinking for a picnic on
a hot summers day, and there is a nice rotweinwanderweg (red-wine footpath)
that will guide you from winegrower to winegrower. Some 10 years ago I
brought 1/2 bottle of Spätburgunder Auslese, just of curiosity. However,
when I eventually opened it some years later it was undrinkable. Maybe I
should give the sweet redwines another go when I'm visiting Germany next
time. I remember some nice sweet Amarone Recioto's, but that's quite another
story.
To return to the expression "Ausbruch": I think it in Austria is used for a
sweet wine to which plain grape-juice had been added, after fermentation? A
Hungarian "Ausbruch", imported to Germany, is something I would never trust
nor touch. I wonder why we find these cheap east-european sweet wines in
Germany at all.....
