The 2023 Pinot Blanc "vom Kalkmergel" from the Weedenborn winery in Rheinhessen is an elegant and minerally-driven white wine, the signature of talented winemaker Gesine Roll. The vines grow on calcareous marl soil, which gives the wine a precise structure and a fine, salty minerality. Aromas of juicy pears, white blossoms, and a hint of citrus fruits unfold on the nose, accompanied by subtle nutty notes. On the palate, it is creamy with a lively, well-integrated acidity that provides freshness and beautifully balances the wine. The fine spice and elegant fruit lend it an appealing depth, while the long, harmonious finish leaves you wanting the next sip. A versatile food companion, it pairs perfectly with seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes.
