At once cool and silky on the medium-bodied palate but with a very elegant tannin structure, this concentrated, dry pinot blanc has a unique style and personality. I love the pomelo and summer-vegetable aromas and flavors of this restrained beauty. Long finish with a minty freshness. Sustainable. Vegan. Drink or hold.

Pale yellow green, silver reflections. A hint of meadow herbs, a hint of mango, subtle pear fruit, delicate kumquat zest. Juicy, elegant, white peach, mineral and lemony, nuances of spring onions, fine fruit on the finish, a multi-faceted food companion.

The 2024 Weissburgunder Terrassen Smaragd comes from the Kollmütz, sourced from a vineyard aged between 45 and 60 years. The merest hint of white pear flesh is tender on the nose. Despite being aged only in stainless steel, there is gentle creaminess aligned with ripeness. Still closed, it needs time to unfold but shows beautiful tension and texture.
