Pfalz, Germany – 100% Pinot Noir (no skin contact making this a white wine!)
The 2024 vintage opens with crisp apple, Asian pear, and ripe nectarine on the nose. The palate bursts with bright acidity and a lovely texture, showing juicy stonefruit, delicate white flowers, a refreshing touch of white grapefruit, underripe strawberry, and tropical mango layered over a mineral backbone. What makes this vintage so captivating is the interplay of underripe freshness and tropical ripeness in the same glass. It’s a rare and intriguing balance we absolutely adore and we hope you do too!
Pairing Suggestions: Perfect with roasted squash soup with sage, pork chops with apple chutney, or mushroom risotto. It also pairs beautifully with miso-glazed cod, Vietnamese spring rolls, or Thai-style mango chicken. For a seasonal board, try nutty cheeses like Comté or Gruyère alongside roasted pecans. These combinations echo the wine’s brightness while letting its fruit and mineral backbone shine.
