2011 Blanc de Noir

TASTING NOTE
Delicate fruit aromas touched by a light kiss of pear. Intense and mineralic on the palate with a well-balanced acidity. A powerful white wine with a complex and long lasting finish.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES
Pinot fruits originally scheduled for a redwine were pressed gentle as whole clusters. This wine was not aged in oak to keep the colour as bright as possible. 2011 we had an outstanding vintage with a long hang time on the vines. The fruits could ripen perfectly! Especially the white wines overbear with ripe fruit aromas and a great complexity.
