2019 Weingut Abraham Weissburgunder Vom Muschelkalk

Pretty floral perfumes, sweet spice, ripe pear and the slightest hint of vanilla creates a deeply alluring bouquet as the 2019 Weißburgunder Vom Muschelkalk opens in the glass. It’s creamy in texture but not weighty in feel, with depths of flinty, mineral-tinged orchard fruits and bright acidity. This leaves a salty flourish, making for a rather savory finale, as subtle nuances of lime zest and spice linger. I’m curious to see what a short stay in the cellar might reveal here; yet even without it, this is a fully enjoyable expression of Pinot Bianco. The Vom Muschelkalk comes from old vines planted at 600 meters in soils with a high content of active limestone.” Vinous 91
