Oeko-Weingut Zang, "Orts-Wein", Pinot Blanc, Franconia QbA, organic wine, white, 2022
 

Rainer Zang, the winemaker, tries to interpret his local wines as clear anar ad transparent representatives of grape varieties without much chichi. He focuses on the mineral origins of the vineyards around the wine-growing towns of Sommerach and Nordheim. The existing shell limestone soil from the Main loop runs through the wines like a cool stream bed. Like the Oeko-Weingut Zang Orts-Wein Pinot Blanc, they are all consistent representatives of its organic philosophy and style: close to nature, unvarnished, honest and dry.

Organic wine profile

• Color: Pale yellow
• Nose: A cool touch of shell limestone with hints of wet stone lies over the fine scent of green apple and nectar-rich flowers.
• Mouth: On the palate, the salty minerality of the soil is almost tactilely perceptible: a fresh acidity and a chalky grip on the tongue counteract the otherwise round Burgundian character of the long lees. There are also impressions of floral wild herbs as well as nuances of apples, apricots and dry hay.
• Drinking recommendation : Serve at 10°C.
