Intro to Messmer Pinot Blanc Weissburgunder Trocken –
Messmer Pinot Blanc Weissburgunder Trocken is a delicious, fruity approachable Weissburgunder also known as Pinot Blanc from the Pfalz region of south-west Germany.
Full tasting note and wine making –
Messmer Pinot Blanc Weissburgunder Trocken is a delicately floral with aromas of stone fruit and hints of white spice. It has a generous mouthfeel, with delicious ripe lemon peel characters and a mineral finish.
The producer –
Weingut Messmer, in the Pfalz region, was founded by Herbert and Elizabeth Messmer in 1960. It’s situated in Burrweiler, in the south-west of Germany, less than fifty miles from the border with France and to the north-west of Stuttgart. The yellow sandstone buildings had already been home to winemaking for around two hundred and fifty years before they arrived. It’s still in the family’s hands today, with son Martin overseeing the estate alongside his brother Gregor, who supervises production in the vineyard and winery. Their vineyards cover twenty seven hectares, with around two-thirds of the area planted with white grape varieties (predominantly Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc) and the rest with red varieties (Pinot Noir in the main).The terroir is made up of seven different soil types: slate, red sandstone, granite, limestone, loam, sand and ‘muschelkalk’ – a calcareous soil with substantial deposits of fossilised mussel shells. Gregor works to preserve the health and mineral content of the soils – they use only organic fertilisers, and in 2011 they began the biodynamic cultivation of some sites. In the winery fermentations are cool, slow and small batch; the grapes are only ever partially de-stemmed; and the wines are bottled without fining and with only the gentlest filtration to preserve the nuances of flavour.
Drink with –
