"A faint resinous wood overlay (reflecting the 25 percent of this blend that was in 500-liter barrels) does not obscure classic Pinot Blanc notes of corn shoot with fresh apple and lime. A cooling, soothing, subtly creamy palate is tinged with mint, but the piquancy and sizzle of corn shoot supply stimulating counterpoint en route to a succulently sustained finish. A pleasing undertone of chalk – evoking the Deidesheim vineyards in which this grew – helps set off the fruity and herbal elements. I don’t yet have experience with older Von Winning Pinot Blancs, so I’m being conservative in my quantified prognostication."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
