Winemaker Notes
Villa Wolf Pinot Blanc is an elegant and easy drinking wine. Fresh and bright aromas come from picking the fruit at the optimal ripeness. This medium-bodied dry wine is complex, not too sweet with just the right amount of acidity creating a great balance. It is light and fruity enough to enjoy on its own but also pairs well with food.

Pretty white blossom and peach notes perfume this bang-for-your-buck Pinot Blanc. It’s an unusually exuberant, fruit-forward expression of a typically shy grape variety that should be enjoyed young but its pert acidity and concentrated flavors should hold well through 2023. Best Buy.
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.
This sunny and relatively dry region served for many years as a German tourist mecca and was associated with low cost, cheerful wines. But since the 1980s, it has gained a reputation as one of Germany’s more innovative regions, which has led to increased international demand.
