Origin and Terroir
The grapes for this Pinot Blanc come from the Lieben Aich site in Terlano, specifically from the Eichhorn vineyard. This southwest-facing slope at 300 meters above sea level is characterized by a mild, airy microclimate and water-permeable, sandy loam soils on porphyry weathered rock. These special conditions give the wine its alpine-Mediterranean character.
Vinification and Aging
After careful hand-picking, the destemmed grapes were macerated in the press for eight hours to extract aromas and structure from the berry skins. Fermentation occurred spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in wooden barrels. The wine was then aged for nine months on the fine lees, which led to a refinement of aroma and flavor.
Serving Recommendation
The Eichhorn Pinot Bianco 2023 harmonizes excellently with fine fish dishes, shellfish, and crustaceans, as well as vegetarian cuisine. It pairs particularly well with aromatic cheese. For optimal enjoyment, it is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 8 to 10 °C and to decant it when young.
