St. Antony Weissburgunder Rheinhessen, 2022 Oregon red wine and pine nutsThis wine is made of 100% Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and shows aromas of orange and green apple. We would pair it with Veal Milanese. The palate is slightly herbal with a slight saline minerality, and fruit notes of ripe yellow peach and nectarine. A dry, crisp, and refreshing white we come to expect from southern Germany. St. Antony seems to achieve the impossible, farming biodynamically and organically on very steep hilly vineyards.
