Pinot Blanc de Noir 2024

Wine Description for Pinot Blanc de Noir 2024 by Klaus Vorgrimmler

Character

Klaus Vorgrimmler interprets the classical art of white wine production from red grapes in a contemporary manner with this Blanc de Noir. The Pinot Blanc de Noir 2024 showcases the elegant, restrained side of Pinot Noir – a style that is gaining increasing significance in Baden. The dry orientation underscores the finesse of this vinification method, which depends on precise timing and careful grape handling.

Terroir & Origin

Baden, Germany’s warmest wine region, offers ideal conditions for Pinot Noir. The climatic conditions between the Black Forest and Rhine Plain enable physiological ripeness of the grapes at moderate alcohol levels. Vorgrimmler harnesses these natural conditions to produce wines with tension and drinkability – a philosophy that is particularly evident in this delicate Blanc de Noir vinification.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The challenge of a Blanc de Noir from Pinot Noir lies in the rapid, gentle processing of the grapes. Only through immediate pressing after harvest and minimal skin contact is it possible to produce a white wine from red grapes. The result combines the aromatic delicacy of a white wine with the subtle structure that Pinot Noir brings – a fine texture reminiscent of high-quality Champagne base wines. The dry vinification style emphasises the mineral precision and makes this wine an independent statement beyond classical rosé wines.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The versatility of this Blanc de Noir makes it an ideal companion for seafood, oysters and raw fish. It also harmonises beautifully with roasted poultry, veal or creamy goat’s cheese. The fine structure pairs equally well with Asian cuisine – such as sushi or steamed dim sum. A wine for light, modern cuisine.
