Aromas: Expect enticing notes of ripe pear, quince, and lemon zest, interwoven with delicate hints of toasted hazelnut and subtle spice from the oak aging.

Taste: This wine presents a beautifully balanced palate with refreshing acidity and a creamy texture. Flavours of orchard fruits like apple and pear mingle with nuances of white peach and a touch of minerality. The oak influence adds a layer of complexity and a long, satisfying finish.

Details:

• Varietal: 100% Pinot Blanc
• Region: Burgenland, Austria   
• Vineyard: Grapes are sourced from select vineyard sites within the Esterhazy estate, known for their limestone-rich soils that contribute to the wine's vibrant acidity and mineral character.
• Vinification: The grapes were gently pressed and fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and traditional oak tonneaux (large barrels). The wine then underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged for several months in the same oak barrels, adding richness and complexity.
• Alcohol: 13.5%
• Residual Sugar: 2.5 g/l
• Acidity: 6.5 g/l

Food Pairing: This versatile Pinot Blanc pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, including roasted poultry, grilled fish, creamy pasta dishes, salads with goat cheese, and fresh seafood.

Serving Suggestion: Serve chilled at around 50-55°F (10-13°C).

Cellaring Potential: While enjoyable now, this wine has the structure and acidity to age gracefully for 3-5 years, developing further complexity and nuanced flavours.

Note: This wine is produced in limited quantities, reflecting the unique terroir and meticulous winemaking practices of Weingut Esterhazy.
