Varietal

Pinot Blanc

Pinot Blanc, a white grape variety with roots in Burgundy, showcases a distinct and versatile character, making it a fascinating exploration for wine enthusiasts. What makes Pinot Blanc unique is its ability to express a range of styles depending on the winemaking region. In Alsace, France, it produces full-bodied and aromatic wines with notes of orchard fruits and flowers, often with a touch of spice. In Germany and Austria, Pinot Blanc, known as Weissburgunder, yields crisp and refreshing wines with bright acidity.

Pinot Blanc’s adaptability extends to regions like Italy, where it is known as Pinot Bianco, and across the New World. The grape’s moderate acidity and neutral profile make it an excellent canvas for winemakers to craft wines that range from easy-drinking and quaffable to more complex and age-worthy expressions. Exploring Pinot Blanc offers a delightful journey into a grape that combines familiarity with a spectrum of expressions, making it a versatile and enjoyable choice for diverse palates.
