Jean Baptiste Adam Pinot Blanc Tradition
Alsatian Pinot Blanc
£21.95
This Pinot Blanc is from selected plots of vines on the hillsides of Ammerschwihr and surrounding towns. The wine is elegant with a crisp mineral finish. After harvest grapes are sorted and gently pressed slowly and then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel, without any oak ageing. This is a gastronomic and very fresh wine with a nose and flavours of white flowers, stone fruits and apple.
Ideal with summer salads, seafood and white fish like dover sole.
Jean Baptiste Adam is one of the oldest estates in Alsace, with 19 ha of organic vineyard in the Haut Rhin village of Ammerschwir. The granite slopes of Grand Cru ‘Kaefferkopf’ provide the backdrop to the village and produce the estate’s unforgettable wines. 400 years on, J-B Adam remains guided by the 14th generation of Adams, Jean-Baptiste and his daughters Laure, Pauline and Marie. Their progressive stewardship has seen the introduction of biodynamic principals and a ‘non-interventionist’ regime in the cellar (a natural process of slow pressing, wild fermentations and no filtration) that ensures wonderfully expressive, clean and complex wines.
