Karl May Gutswein Weißburgunder 2018

Rheinhessen Qualitätswein

/ 5 ( reviews)

Bronze, Decanter World Wine Awards, 2019

A wonderfully racy-fresh, creamy Weissburgunder (aka Pinot Blanc). It’s from a seventh generation estate, run organically since 2007. All that tradition, yet the brothers in charge are modern winemakers and make this terrific, fruity, rounded white.

This luscious, vivacious Weissburgunder is made by brothers Peter and Fritz May, seventh generation winemakers at their 200 year old family estate. Better known elsewhere as Pinot Blanc or Bianco, in Germany’s Rheinhessen region Weissburgunder produces a lovely rounded style with a core of minerally freshness. Peter and Fritz are both talented winemakers, having studied oenology and travelled widely – Peter worked at Framingham in New Zealand and Fritz at Riesling specialist Grosset in Australia. At their own estate they employ eco-friendly methods in the vineyard and have a modern, hands-off approach to winemaking. This is reflected in the vibrant fruit and finesse of the wine – a delicious match for pork and sauerkraut, or creamy chicken.
