Weingut Gabel Herxheimer Kirchenstück Weissburgunder Trocken Pfalz 2020

Elegant, mineral and with impressive depth – Weingut Gabel Herxheimer Kirchenstück Weissburgunder Trocken 2020 is Pfalz white wine at its most serious. Here you get a characterful Pinot Blanc from the chalky Kirchenstück vineyard on the outskirts of Herxheim – created with respect for terroir and a focus on natural vinification.

The grapes for this Weissburgunder are grown on limestone soil, which gives the wine a distinctive minerality and a lean, precise structure. Fermentation takes place spontaneously in tonneaux, where the wine’s natural yeast strains are allowed to work freely. The wine is then aged for a full 10 months on the lees, adding complexity, creamy texture and extra depth. It is bottled unfiltered, preserving all the nuances and textures in the bottle.

The result is a dry white wine with both freshness and richness – perfect for gastronomy and ideal for those looking for serious Weissburgunder from Pfalz with ageing potential.
