Intense aromatics with flavours of pears, grapefruit, melon, and gooseberry. Brilliant minerality and lemony acidity. Complex and juicy, yet unwaveringly lithe. Lingering finish reminiscent of lemony creams.

Fun Fact: Weissburgunder (/vīs-bur-gūn-dur/) is another grape of the pinot family which originated in Burgundy, France. For that reason, the German word “burgunder” is used to mean pinot in the same sense French and English speakers use it. “Weiss,” like “blanc” in French or “bianco” in Italian, is the German word for the color white. So weissburgunder is the German name for pinot blanc/bianco
