Suckling over Pinot Blanc "from limestone marl" 2023
Effusively fresh nose of crisp apple and pear with notes of snow peas and fine green beans. For a grape that can be so fruit-forward this has a lovely delicacy and subtlety in spite of the abundant freshness. Excellent balance on the bone dry palate that reveals a restrained creaminess after some aeration in the glass. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Stuart Pigott Senior Editor

Pinot Blanc "from limestone marl" 2023

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.
