Blanc de Noir 2022

Wine description for Blanc de Noir 2022 from M. Schädler - Steffen Mugler

Colour & appearance

A brilliant, pale golden yellow with elegant silvery reflections that indicate the careful pressing of the red grapes.

Nose

This Blanc de Noir is fascinatingly complex with a precise aroma of yellow fruit and delicate wild raspberries. The Herbal and spicy nuances combine with subtle smoky notes to create a complex bouquet. With increasing aeration, fine floral accents unfold, lending the wine additional elegance.

Palate

On the palate, the wine impresses with its vibrant juiciness and a remarkably precise acidity structure. The Salty minerality gives it depth and tension. The mid-palate is compact and structured, with spicy notes that harmonise perfectly with the fruit. The finish is refreshing, clear and animating - a wine of remarkable precision and balance.

General information

This successful cuvée of Pinot Noir and Black Riesling from the Palatinate impressively demonstrates the potential of German Blanc de Noirs. With a moderate 12.0% alcohol and a restrained residual sweetness, the wine shows an impressive balance between freshness and structure. The 2022 vintage with its warm temperatures ensured optimum ripeness, while the cool nights preserved the necessary acidity.

Food pairing suggestions

A versatile food companion that goes particularly well with Grissini with Parma ham and olives harmonises. We also recommend combining it with French toast with ricotta, basil and tomatoThe acidity of the wine contrasts perfectly with the creaminess of the dish. To Macaroni Bolognese it offers a refreshing accompaniment that elegantly balances the flavour of the dish.

Special features

This Blanc de Noir impresses with its remarkable precision and clarity. It epitomises the new generation of German white wines made from red grapes, which score with finesse rather than vigour. The combination of Pinot Noir and Black Riesling gives it a special complexity that clearly elevates it above the category of simple summer wines. Excellent value for money for a wine of this quality and strength of character.
