Extra dry on the palate with only 1.1 g of residual sugar, distinctive, well-integrated acidity that perfectly balances the strong body. Complex aromas of flowers and herbs are repeated on the palate, with the fruit subtly resonating. In the finish, there are subtle tannins that give the wine structure.
As a food companion, Pinot Blanc is universally applicable due to its rather neutral character. The intense herbal flavor, which distinguishes this Pinot Blanc from conventional representatives, also predestines it for more spicy dishes such as curries or light game dishes.
