Weingut Steininger Pinot Blanc (Weissburgunder) Reserve Sekt 2019

The Pinot Blanc, or Weißburgunder, sparkling wine from Kamptal region of Austria is a true delight of senses, with its aromatic complexity, velvety texture, and harmonious flavor profile. On the nose, wine reveals a captivating aroma of ripe mangoes and golden raisins, with notes of a tropical fruits. A delicate whisper of yellow plums further enriches the bouquet, adding depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine reveals a very fine mousseux, or effervescence, coating the mouth with luxurious richness. The sweetness is balanced by a delicate acidity, which adds a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the wine. It shows good length, gracefully tapering off with a sense of refinement and finesse!
