The epitome of cool-climate Pinot Blanc. White fruit aromas of peach and white currant on the nose, along with gooseberry and a slightly spicy hint on the palate. Lifted by surprisingly crisp acidity, with a delicate minty note lending wonderful mouth-watering freshness.
The grapes used for this great Pinot blanc are sourced from the Kaseler Kehrnagel and Kaseler Herrenberg vineyards in the Ruwer Valley – privileged sites that offer exceptional conditions for producing a top-class bottling from one of the Burgundian varietals. A mild to warm microclimate, weathered slate soils, and the excellent south-south-west exposure of the vineyards provide an ideal terroir for our Pinot Blanc Reserve. Quality-enhancing measures such as selective hand-picking have also had a positive influence on the wine’s character and ageing potential. Naturally fermented in 2,000-litre and 500-litre wooden casks, this Pinot blanc spends at least more then nine months on its lees before bottling.Ratings

The year started very wet with what seemed like three months of non-stop rain.
Spring was warm and dry – ideal conditions for an early bud burst.
Continuation: In Summer weather improved day by day. Only our youngest vines were a little less happy, as their roots have not yet reached the necessary depth to get through dry periods completely unscathed.
When harvest-time came nature spoiled us with heavenly conditions and a “golden autumn”. Our fruit was outstanding at all quality and Prädikat wine levels. We were fortunate enough to select Trockenbeerenauslesen – the pinnacle of any vintage – from a number of different sites. The extra warmth resulting in exceptional levels of ripeness, flavour and minerality as well as excellent quantities.
Summary: A sun-blessed year of superlatives!
