2023 Meyer-Nakel Pinot Noir Illusion Blanc de Noir Ahr

Well, Laura, this is one that you don't see every day. No, so much to say about this wine. So this is Meyer Nacho is the producer. And this is a Blanc de Pinot Noir. So made from Pinot Noir grapes, which are red. They press them and get this white wine. And it's coming from the region is R in Germany. R. And here we have a VDP wine from a legacy producer. This wine really captivated us. It has this precision, this lovely notes. I mean, Pinot Noir has, as we know, this characters is a big player in the world. Representing Germany here. Strong. What do you get in there? I got a lovely amount of like citrus and apple notes. A little bit of like white cherry and white peach. Great acidity, as expected with Pinot Noir. And you really get a sense of the soils. It's really kind of striking minerality that really comes through on the finish, on the nose, beautiful wine. I would love this with oysters, with shellfish and great creamy canapes. Absolutely. Tell me a little bit about the color. Why is it not red like a Pinot Noir? Well, actually, the juice of these Pinot Noir grapes is clear. So if it spends time with that skin, it imparts color. If it does not spend time with those skins, it becomes appears beautifully. Thank you for sharing this. Cheers.
