2020 Ziereisen Lugle Weissburgunder 750Ml Bottle

"Basked-pressed and aged in large oak casks for 20 month, the 2020 Weisser Burgunder Lügle opens with a very intense and aromatic but elegant and utterly fascinating, slightly flinty nose of perfectly ripe and warm Pinot Blanc fruit. Creamy textured and dense but refreshingly pure, mineral and savory on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, elegant and still youthful Pinot Blanc with serious tannins that intermingle with the racy acidity and salinity. It's complex yet still a bit austere. This 2020 Pinot Blanc comes into the markets too early; therefore, it should be aerated for about a day. " 92 points - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate

This is a single-site pinot blanc from the S-facing slope above the village of Effringen-Kirchen, southern Baden near the "three-country" corner of Germany. Crushed white grapes and left to macerate then are pressed hard to give a dense wine with firm textural tannins that soften with the 2 years barrel age (large old oak). A lush fruit medley which is at once powerful and ripe, yet light-footed and lifted by a pleasant zing of acidity. A must-try wine from the Baden legend.
