Let’s face it, the naming on German wine labels can be confusing for American consumers. Today’s wine, a Weissburgunder Trocken, may seem strange at first glance, but actually provides quite a bit of information. Weissburgunder is the German name for Pinot Blanc, a typically full-bodied white wine. Trocken indicates that it is a dry wine. (With 6.4 g/L of residual sugar you might not expect it to be dry but it still qualifies thanks to its high acidity of 7.8 g/L.)
The 2014 Gut Hermannsberg Weissburgunder Trocken begins with a very pleasant aroma of citrus, peaches, apricots, flowers and a little tropical fruit. The wine tastes nicely sweet and features tangy fruit flavors similar to the nose, good lively acidity and good balance. This is a really refreshing and pleasurable wine with a great mouthfeel. Great depth of flavor adds to the impressive complexity. It ends with a very nice hint of minerality and spice on the quite long finish. An absolutely lovely wine.
