Weingut Salwey Weißburgunder Gutswein Trocken 2019

Grape: 100% Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc)

Tasting notes

Clear fruit aromas, medium volume and pleasant acid characterize Pinot Blanc. It is absolutely typical of the variety, not scented and something like “everybodies darling” from our wine collection. It gives pleasure to discerning palates as well as connoisseurs and is therefore ideal as a “wine by the glass” or at banquets.
