Vine: Pinot Blanc
This vine is at times also wrongly called Chardonnay or Pinot-Chardonnay. Its origin is Burgundy and Champagne. It is very sensitive to late frosts and therefore may only be cultivated in a region that is particularly well exposed.
The bunches are small to medium and have a grape of green-yellowish colour, with a very sweet juice of a great fineness, which becomes even more pronounced if the grain is left to dry before the picking.
The Pinot Blanc is a wine of great luxury, a 'nobleman' that ages very well. Its pronounced acidity makes it a pleasant companion for fish dishes.
