"Markus Molitor's 100% Pinot Blanc vintage: deep, pure, fresh, and intense according to Wine Advocate. Discover it for yourself!"

"A German Pinot Blanc in the Burgundian style with a broad spectrum of fresh and candied citrus aromas. Impressive concentration and a fascinating interplay of subtle oak, creamy lees character, and a touch of flinty minerality on the medium-bodied palate. Drink now or cellar." (James Suckling 2022)

About wine:

Molitor's 2022 Pinot Blanc Einstern is deep, pure, fresh, and intense on the nose with stony and mineral notes reminiscent of ripe yellow apples and crushed slate. Lively and refined from the first sip, this is a stimulating, juicy, round Pinot Blanc with a charming texture, juicy and flavorful fruit, and an intense, aromatic finish. It is much fruitier than the Haus Klosterberg Chardonnay and juicier than the Haus Klosterberg Pinot Blanc. This is a serious wine that pairs well with almost any fish, white meat, or cheese dish. 12.5% alcohol by volume. Natural cork. Tasted in September 2024. 2026-2040
