Character & Taste Profile

Pinot Blanc has a long tradition in Europe. This grape variety was already documented in the 14th century. Originating as a mutation of Pinot Noir, it offers unique aromas and an elegant style. Typical notes are green nuts, light apples or pears. Citrus fruits can also be found in this wine. This Pinot Blanc from Baden convinces with freshness. A fine interplay between fruitiness and mineral notes defines the taste. On the palate it unfolds a pleasant density with harmonious acid structure.

Vinification predominantly in stainless steel tanks preserves the varietal aromas.

Four months of maturation on the fine lees provides more density and smoothness – a process that underlines the clear stylistic approach of Weingut Köbelin. The dry style makes this Pinot Blanc an ideal companion to many dishes.
