Wines made from Pinot blanc grapes of Moselle
Discover the best wines made with Pinot blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Moselle.
Round, supple whites with a soft palate, showing discreet aromas of apple, pear, fresh almond, white flowers and brioche notes. Moderate acidity, light finish. Star of Crémant d'Alsace (fine, taut sparkling) and base of Edelzwicker. Grown in Germany (Weissburgunder, Baden-Württemberg), northern Italy (Pinot Bianco, Alto Adige), Austria and Luxembourg. A white mutation of Pinot Noir.
World benchmark for cool-climate German Riesling, on vertiginous blue and grey slate slopes. Pure, precise whites with signature notes of lime, green apple, white peach, white flowers and marked chalky minerality ("gunflint"), low alcohol (~8-10%), taut acidity and crystalline tension. From dry Kabinett to sweet Auslese, up to luscious Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein. Also Müller-Thurgau and Elbling.
