Organic Pinot Blanc Estate Wine from Osthofen in Rheinhessen

The 2025 Pinot Blanc from the Karl May winery is a dry organic estate wine from Rheinhessen, supple and uncomplicated. Featuring quince, almond, and pineapple, with a medium body and fine acidity. A charming all-rounder for every day.

Pinot Blanc 2025 is a dry organic estate wine from the Karl May winery in Osthofen, Rheinhessen, also known as Weißburgunder in the family. It has aromas of ripe quince, sweet almonds, and exotic pineapple, and tastes supple and round. A wine with delicate aromas that pairs well with many things and is simply a joy to drink.

Ripe quince, sweet almond, exotic pineapple

On the nose, ripe quince and sweet almonds, complemented by an exotic hint of pineapple that gives the wine a summery lightness.

On the palate, the Pinot Blanc is dry, supple, and round, with a medium body, good acidity balance, and moderate alcohol. The 12.5 percent alcohol and 3 grams of residual sugar keep it finely balanced—a Pinot Blanc that never becomes intrusive. Its delicate aromas make it a quiet favorite that doesn't push itself to the forefront. Supple, fruity, and spicy, it glides softly over the tongue.

An all-rounder for German and international cuisine

Served well-chilled at 8 to 10 degrees, this Pinot Blanc pairs with a wide variety of dishes without ever overpowering them.

Its delicate nature makes it the perfect companion for both German and international cuisine, from light meat and fish to vegetables and pasta. It is just as suited for an uncomplicated aperitif as it is for a weeknight dinner, when you just want something tasty without a heavy wine overshadowing the meal. If you prefer something a bit spicier in your glass, you will find it in the Pinot Gris from the Karl May winery.

Hand-harvesting and stainless steel at Fritz and Peter May

The vines for the Pinot Blanc grow in various vineyards on sandy loess-loam soil and are farmed organically.

Pinot Blanc, known as Weißburgunder in German, is considered the diplomat among white wines because it gets along with almost everything and never outshines the food. It is precisely this restraint that makes it so versatile; it complements the dish rather than standing in front of it. In the mild climate of the Wonnegau region, it receives enough sun to develop ripe fruit without ever seeming thin.

To ensure the grapes ripen properly, Fritz and Peter May prune early, defoliate the grape zone for more sun, and reduce yields with green harvesting in early summer. Harvesting is done selectively by hand, often in several passes.

In the cellar, the grapes are gently pressed, the must is fermented spontaneously, remains on the lees for a long time, and matures in stainless steel tanks, which preserves its clear, fresh character. No wood, no makeup, just the pure fruit of the grape variety. The May family has been running the winery for seven generations since 1815, covering around 35 hectares between Bechtheim, Westhofen, and Osthofen. You can find more in the assortment from the Karl May winery and among our German white wines. The May brothers' range there extends from Riesling to Pinot Noir.
