Description
Awesome dry, fresh white made from 100% weissburgunder, or as the French call it, Pinot Blanc. Translates to ‘White from Burgundy’ although the French don’t grow Pinot Blanc in Burgundy, weird that. White flowers, gooseberry and ripe pear, a wee dollop of light honey and a lively acidity to round it all together.
Situated in the Pfalz region near Stuttgart, they are a second generation family producer farming on varied soil including the unique ‘muschelkalk’ – a calcareous soil with substantial deposits of fossilised mussel shells. They are fully organic, and soon to be certified Biodynamic – for those who don’t know this a very minimal intervention way of farming pioneered by Rudolph Steiner. It includes looking at the lunar cycles to decide harvest dates and other pseudo science including burying cow horns full of ash at the end of the vines. Long story short, if you are that crazy about your grapes you are going to be more astute about noticing things like disease on the vines, and you will produce a better quality and purity of fruit.
