Fermented in tank, the 2024 Pinot Blanc has crisp aromas of underripe pineapple and quince, kiwi and bread dough. The medium-bodied palate features bright, tropical flavors and a mouth-coating texture. Bright acidity balances five grams of residual sugar, and it has a long, flavorful finish.
The 2024 Pinot Gris was blended with 4% Gewürztraminer and 2% Muscat and fermented in stainless steel. It has understated aromas of peach, apricot, bread dough and spice. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated, textural and savory with gently honeyed flavors. Bright acidity balances 3.6 grams of residual sugar, and it has a long, flavorful finish.
“A critical mass of vintners has devoted serious efforts to making fine Pinot Blanc, which in my view may be the world’s most under-estimated white wine grape variety.”
