The Pinot blanc is an internationally widespread variety and the youngest member of the Pinot family. It is recognisable from its delicate, often restrained bouquet and its soft acidity, that often makes it an ideal blending partner with other white Pinot varieties.
The white grape variety originates from France. Around a hundred synonyms testify to the vine's great age and worldwide distribution in many wine-growing countries. Only in good vineyard sites does this variety yield the highest quality. Young wines have a blossomy expression and piquant acidity, while mature versions tend to develop bread and nut flavours. Maturation goes slowly and the highest quality is achieved after longer bottle ageing.
