Henri Ehrhart Reserve Particuliere Pinot Blanc 2019 (6 x 750mL) Alsace AOC

Description:

Pinot Blanc is a versatile white-wine grape variety (or more accurately a white grape Pinot mutation sharing its genetic fingerprint with Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris et al) used in the production of still, sparkling and sweet dessert wines. Although not the most glamorous member of the Pinot family, the variety has proven its worth in various European wine regions, including Alsace in northeast France, the Alto Adige region of Italy, and in parts of Germany and Austria.

The variety is often regarded as Chardonnay's understudy; like Chardonnay it produces a similar medium- to full-bodied style of wine with good acidity, and responds well to oak maturation. Pinot Blanc's varietal characters include apple and almond, and sometimes a touch of smokiness, although – like Chardonnay – it is a palette for winemaker intervention, and flavours often depend on style.
