Pinot Blanc rarely takes centre stage, but in the right hands it can produce wines of remarkable elegance and quiet complexity. Those hands belong to Vincent Fritzsche, a supremely talented winemaker running a small, intensely focused operation and producing wines in strictly limited quantities, each one worth seeking out. Crafted in a Burgundian style with barrel fermentation and extended lees ageing in neutral oak, this beautifully poised example balances vibrant citrus and orchard fruit with subtle texture and finesse. Sourced from sustainably farmed, LIVE-certified vines in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills, it is a wonderfully food-friendly white with real character. Taste
Bright aromas of lemon zest, green apple and ripe pear are complemented by hints of white flowers and toasted almond.
