Weingut Nimmervoll – Engilmar Pinot Blanc
The 2020 Engilmar Pinot Blanc from the Nimmervoll Winery in the Wagram region shows what a great Pinot Blanc can achieve with the ideal terroir. The "Große Reserve" is an attempt to push fully ripe grapes to their absolute limit. Its intense spice constantly reveals new nuances. Hardly any other variety is as well-suited to the loess sites of the Wagram as Pinot Blanc. French oak lends it an extraordinarily complex nose.
Also on the palate, it is a true original of real stature! The king of Gregor Nimmervoll’s cellar – magnificent, opulent, and noble. Produced only in the best years, such as 2020 following 2018, from those white wine grapes that come closest to his vision of perfection, vinified in an aging style that reflects the vintage and the winemaker’s intuition. Therefore, it is a unique creation year after year, without a double. Engilmar, loved by angels, Wagram and Burgundy – a meeting of two deeply devoted lovers. Reserved for the best vintages. A work of craftsmanship and a great piece of art at the same time. Opulent yet infinitely delicate with a vibrant structure.
Nimmervoll – Winemaking
The Pinot Blanc grapes from the Nimmervoll vineyards were harvested at full ripeness on October 23, 2020. After 36 hours of skin contact, the must was gently pressed pneumatically and fermented spontaneously with natural yeast in new 500l French oak barrels, followed by 16 months of aging in wooden barrels with intensive yeast contact. The young wine remained on the fine lees until bottling in March 2022, resulting in greater complexity and depth as well as excellent aging potential.
