Winemaker Notes
Fritz Wassmer Weisser Burgunder offers fine aromas of yellow apple and pear, floral notes, and a nice mineral finish. On the palate, a soft texture and pleasant freshness without being tart. Light and fruity overall.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Sommerhalde Bombach Weisser Burgunder opens with a dense, elegant and sur lie-scented bouquet with fine, salty caramel notes. Creamy textured, this full-bodied, dense and juicy Pinot is generously charming, elegant and stimulatingly salty on the finish.
Approachable, aromatic and pleasantly plush on the palate, Pinot Blanc is a white grape variety most associated with the Alsace region of France. Although its heritage is Burgundian, today it is rarely found there and instead thrives throughout central Europe, namely Germany and Austria, where it is known as Weissburgunder and Alto Adige where it is called Pinot Bianco. Interestingly, Pinot Blanc was born out of a mutation of the pink-skinned Pinot Gris. Somm Secret—Chardonnay fans looking to try something new would benefit from giving Pinot Blanc a try.
