Weissburgunder 350 N.N. 2022 3000ml

Wine description for Weissburgunder 350 N.N. 2022 3000ml from Odinstal

Colour & Appearance

A luminous, pale straw yellow with delicate greenish reflections.

Nose

The wine opens loudly and wildly with a cool, herb-driven spice. A subtle reduction provides intellectual tension and envelops notes of nashi pear, yellow apple and white peach. These are joined by nuances of roasted almonds and delicate floral aromas such as jasmine.

Palate

Despite the moderate 11 % vol. alcohol, the wine presents itself on the palate surprisingly powerful and dense. Without the use of wood, but equipped with a firm core, the 6.8g/l acidity and subtle residual sugar balance beautifully. It comes across as purist, unadorned and possesses a wonderful freshness.

Finish

In the aftertaste, the floral components and a subtle fruit presence emerge once more. The finish is clean, precise and carried by an invigorating minerality.

Terroir & Origin

Shaped by the exposed vineyard site at 350 metres altitude in the Palatinate. The triad of soils – Buntsandstein, Keuper and Basalt – lends the wine its complex texture and cool character.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100 % Weissburgunder, fermented in stainless steel. Through the use of 5 % whole bunches (9 months on the must) the wine gains its structural depth and its individual, wild character.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A versatile companion to spinach gnocchi with lemon zest, buckwheat crêpes or pork shoulder cooked in buttermilk.

Special Features

Odinstal deliberately eschews an oenological straightjacket here and lets the characteristics of the 2022 vintage shine through. A wine of great inner tension and authenticity.
