2020 Weingut von Winning Weißer Burgunder Trocken Dr. Deinhard

A delicious white wine this Weißer Burgunder Trocken qba 'Dr. Deinhard' from the German top winery: Weingut von Winning . Made from 100% Weissburgunder grapes, the German equivalent of the Pinot blanc, which in the Palatinate , on the foothills of the Haardt, acquires a beautiful aromatic character, with a pronounced freshness. The wine is light straw yellow in color and has a powerful and open nose, with fine white fruit (pear, yellow plum, ripe apple and a hint of citrus). In the taste there is a nice interplay between the sour and a hint of sweet. Lively, with good acidity and ripe white fruit, pear and yellow plums, mildly dry aftertaste. Elegant, dry and smooth white wine. This beautiful Weissburgunder is ideal as an aperitif, with smoked haddock, salmon with white asparagus, soft white cheeses.

One of the great successes of the Palatinate is the Weisser Burgunder, or Pinot blanc, which we also know so well from neighboring Alsace. The temperature differences between day and night on the foothills of the Haardt give the wines of this grape a beautiful aromatic character, with a pronounced freshness. It is planted in vineyards with a deep layer of loess and loam, in which the lime content is high. This is important for the typical aromas of the Weissburgunder and for a fine, mineral character in the taste. It fits perfectly into the range of attractive and accessible wines under the Dr. Deinhard. It is a wonderful example of the fine white wines that the Palatinate can produce, a combination of power and tension, with a pronounced soft and mild character, with an emphasis on the fruit.
