"The bright yellow apple, zesty citrus and fresh green bean aromas make this barely medium-bodied dry pinot blanc immediately attractive. The balance of creamy lees character with zesty citrus freshness and discreet oak is spot on. Elegant finish. Vegan. Drink now. Screw cap."

"More proof that 2024 is an excellent vintage for dry pinot blanc in Germany, and that from a region not widely associated with this grape. I love the creaminess and the aromas of orange peel and toasty oak in this expressive, medium-bodied wine. Fine tannins deftly support the long finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2024 Pinot Blanc was picked in the Leiwener Klostergarten, a gently sloping site where weathered slate is mixed with loam. Yields were restricted first by frost, then by intense sorting. This had skin contact for six hours and was fermented spontaneously in equal parts new Fuder, used Fuder and stainless steel. Aromatics of pear flesh are pure and almost like pear ice cream on the nose, with more air adding highlights of melon. The palate is smoothly textured but beautifully streamlined. The new Fuder only added creaminess. It is a most elegant Pinot Blanc with substance and finesse. Bone-dry"
