The Alsace region is famous for producing some of the finest pinot blanc, pinot gris, riesling, and gewürztraminer in the world. The Ruhlmann family has been producing wine in Alsace since 1688, descendants of a Hungarian Knight.
This superbly produced pinot blanc of theirs may well be one of the easiest drinking wines on the planet! It is soft and rounded without excess raciness or acid, hits you immediately with that bubble gum aroma often more associated with its sibling pinot gris. It also has a heap of stone fruit on the nose, especially peach and more again on the palate. This is one of those wines you could drink all day. You just never tire of it. If you haven’t yet experienced Alsace at its best and freshest, this is a perfect place to start. We loved this one so much, we poured a second glass on a long tasting day!
We matched it with pork and veal san choy bau (click for recipe). What a ripper treat that was! This wine is super versatile when it comes to food, so you could match it with a ton of dishes. Check out our food matcher for some tips.
