2020 Weingut Ziereisen "Lügle" Pinot Blanc, Baden, Germany

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2020 Weingut Ziereisen "Lügle" Pinot Blanc is a sophisticated and expressive wine that highlights the potential of Pinot Blanc in Baden’s unique terroir. The "Lügle" vineyard is characterized by its limestone-rich soils and ideal sun exposure, which contribute to the wine’s pronounced minerality and lively acidity. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging on the lees in large wooden casks for added depth and complexity. The result is a Pinot Blanc that is both fresh and full of character, offering a harmonious balance of fruit, texture, and minerality. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.
