Landerer Gestühl Weissburgunder

The Gestühl Pinot Blanc from Landerer is not a pleasant everyday wine — it shows what the grape variety can do when you give it time and soil.

The Landerer winery is located in the Markgräflerland, the southernmost tip of Baden, where proximity to the Kaiserstuhl and Burgundian soil characteristics come together. The family manages their sites with a clear focus on artisanal vinification — spontaneous fermentation included. It is precisely this wild fermentation that gives the Gestühl its characteristic spice, which sets it apart from standard Pinot Blancs.

On the nose, ripe apple, a hint of nougat and wood, plus a fine spontaneous fermentation spice reminiscent of bread dough and quince. On the palate, density: firm structure, noticeable minerality, juicy phenolics — not a soft caress, but tension. The finish shows green apple peel, dry and long.
