Pflüger Winery – Pinot Blanc Quartzite from the Palatinate
The Pinot Blanc Quartzite 2024 from Pflüger Winery is an estate wine from Bad Dürkheim in the Palatinate. This organic wine is characterized by its grape variety combined with the cool minerality typical of the classic Palatinate terroirs, as well as aromas of juicy pear, white blossoms, and tropical mango. Partial aging in oak barrels contributes an elegant creaminess to this full-bodied, yet finely woven, Burgundy, which is very present and lingering. It features a medium body, good acid balance, and moderate alcohol content.
The Pflüger Winery Pinot Blanc Quartzite is balanced and well-structured. It pairs with a wide variety of dishes and leaves a lasting impression. Its delicate aromas make it a perfect companion for vegetarian vegetable dishes as well as light meals with chicken or pork.
Pflüger Winery – Wine Production
The vines for this Pinot Blanc estate wine from Pflüger Winery grow in organically managed vineyards in the municipalities of Bad Dürkheim and Friedelsheim. What they all have in common is the quartzite stone soil underground, which brings a fine salty minerality to the wine. To harvest ripe grapes in autumn, winemaker Alexander Pflüger has been working according to biodynamic principles since 2008, refraining from artificial fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides, following the course of the seasons and the moon, and working as close to nature as possible. Pflüger Winery is Demeter certified.
The harvest of the Pinot Blanc grapes often takes place in several picking rounds. In the winery's pressing house, located opposite the salt works in Bad Dürkheim, the grapes are gently processed further. The mash is pressed with gentle pressure and the must is spontaneously fermented. It remains on the lees for a long time and is aged in stainless steel tanks; a small part matures in oak barrels.
