Breisgau, Weiss, 2023

The most important wine of the estate from a non-Chardonnay or Pinot Noir perspective, the Breisgau cuvée (the name referencing the wider appellation), represents the best of the Weisserburgunder and Grauburgunder (Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris) that the estate works with. Over time, much of their plantings were grafted over to Chardonnay, so those that remain are of exceptional quality. Fermented and aged in barrel in the same way as the rest of the whites, the result is a tense, lightly reductive, citrus-driven white with just a lift of florality and white fruit. The perfect summer white, there is a lot of substance in this ostensibly junior white wine.
