Blanc de Noir from Weinkontor Pflüger – [ORGANIC]
The Pflüger Blanc de Noir 2023 is a white wine pressed from red grapes, in this case Pinot Noir, grown in Bad Dürkheim in the Pfalz region. This dry organic wine is characterized by its warm soils and the biodynamic cultivation of the vineyards and winemaking. The Blanc de Noir has aromas of quince, mirabelle plums and ripe vineyard peach, and possesses a delicate herbal spice. This wonderfully fragrant, very juicy Blanc de Noir has an excellent drinkability with delicate acidity and a moderate alcohol content.
The Pflüger Blanc de Noir is harmonious and has a good acidic structure, which is wonderfully buffered by a touch of fruit sweetness. It pairs well with a wide variety of dishes and leaves a lasting impression. Its animating character and delicate pink color make it a perfect companion for light meals, vegetarian cuisine or fish.
Pflüger – Winemaking
The vines for this Blanc de Noir, partly from Weingut Pflüger and partly from befriended organic winemakers, grow in biodynamically-organically cultivated vineyards on variegated sandstone and quartzite soils in the Pfalz. To harvest ripe grapes in autumn, winemaker Alexander Pflüger has been working according to biodynamic principles since 2008, refraining from artificial fertilizers, as well as herbicides and insecticides, aligning with the course of the seasons and the moon, and working as close to nature as possible. Weingut Pflüger is Demeter certified.
The grape harvest often takes place in several passes. In the winery's press house, located opposite the salt works in Bad Dürkheim, the grapes are gently processed. The mash is pressed with gentle pressure and the must undergoes spontaneous fermentation. The reductive aging in stainless steel tanks creates a wonderfully light, white wine made from red grapes.
