Schmitges Weissburgunder dry

A Pinot Blanc that shows what Mosel winemakers can get out of this often underestimated grape variety: clear fruit, fine wood spice and a dry, invigorating finish.

The Schmitges winery in Erden on the Middle Moselle is one of the region's most reliable producers. The family cultivates vineyards on slate and Devonian soils and is primarily known for its Rieslings—but this Pinot Blanc also benefits from the estate's meticulous craftsmanship. Aging in oak barrels gives the wine structure without masking its freshness.

In the glass, it displays a pale straw yellow color. The nose offers aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and a subtle hint of hazelnut from the barrel aging. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with well-integrated acidity and a creamy texture—culminating in a dry finish with a delicate mineral note.

Serving suggestion: Best served between 10 and 12 °C. Pairs well with veal schnitzel, pan-fried pike-perch, mild goat cheese, or a summery herb risotto. Also a good choice as a casual aperitif. Drink now – not suitable for long-term storage.
