Pinot Blanc
Pinot Blanc
Origin: Alsace, France
Grape Variety: 50% Pinot Blanc + 50% Pinot Auxerrois
Production: The carefully hand picked grapes are collected in small "bottiches". They are rapidly taken to the press house for gentle pressing in modern pneumatic presses. After a natural decantation, the juice is transferred for fermentation into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. A natural clarification throughout the winter will be followed by a light filtration before bottling in spring.
Appearance: Pale yellow with bright reflections.
Nose: Fresh and lively with a bouquet of citrus and white flowers, including apple blossom, with a discreet fruitiness.
Taste: Fresh and round, with low acidity. An easy drinking, everyday wine that pleases almost all palates with a dry finish.
Gastronomy: Ideal with fresh vegetables and salads, fish or white meat especially poultry with white wine and cream sauces, and traditional starters from Alsace such as onion tart, or light or white pizzas. Also pairs well with sushi or sashimi.
