Meyer-Fonne Pinot Blanc

Details

Pinot Blanc Vieilles Vignes comes from a plot of old vines, it acts like Pinot Gris on the nose, rich, oily apricot and pear fruit,  but the touch of white pepper and taste of freshly squeezed oranges is classic Pinot Blanc. The palate is likewise rich and honeyed with a streak of minerality, a smoky side, and a touch of citrus.
