Bleichert

Term formerly used in individual German wine-growing regions (also Bleichart) for very pale-coloured or lightly pressed red wines when rosé was still unknown. The term "Bleichart" is mentioned in the Mayschoßer Schatzbuch in 1664, for example. On the Ahr, especially on the Lower Rhine, "Ahrbleichert" was common. These terms may no longer be used in wine law. See in detail under Rosé.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
