Pinot Blanc Spätlese 2004, halbtrocken
The Pinot Blanc is an old, traditional white wine variety and well known in almost every nameable wine
growing region on earth. Everywhere the Pinot Blanc is much renowned and developed in many variations
ranging from dry fruitiness to the extreme sweetness of dessert wines made out of overripe botrytised
grapes. Frequently it can also be found in a very strong style, oaked and bone-dry but with an
exceptional full-bodied appearance which is much appreciated by wine enthusiasts from all over the
world. Our semi dry Pinot Blanc Late Harvest wines are only slightly sweet and primarily impress with
their full body and the intense bouquet instead of pure sugar content. Hence they are very mild,
pleasurably to drink and they present themselves favourably on almost every occasion.
Tasting notes: Our semi dry Pinot Blanc 2004 Late Harvest has a fine balanced, spicy bouquet
without beeing too bold. It is almost dry on the palate and the tiny bit of sweetness perfectly
distinguishes the fine flavour. This Late Harvest wine is ideally suited as an aperitif. The small but
noticeable amount of residual sugar, combined with the full body have an inspiring and appetizing
effect. It also serves well to a great range of stronger food that would otherwise be too intense for a
light and dry white wine.
Drinking suggestions: This wine already gives a lot of drinking pleasure but will still refine
within the next 3-4 years. Serve at 6-8° C (43-47 F).
