2006 Pinot Blanc
Situated on the south shores of Lake Ontario, the grapes of the Konzelmann Estate enjoy a wonderful balance of sun, soil, airflow and moisture. This light-weight, off dry wine offers fresh, zesty fruit, full-mouth flavores of pear and tangerine, and is sliced by a wonderfully crisp acidity.
Pinot Blanc
The cool-climate viticulture conditions are often enhanced by an "Indian summer", a warming in autumn which allows for a later harvest, therefore creating a fine acid balance and natural sugar content in the grape. Morning dew that settles on the grapes gives the wines a soft and fresh character. Only the oldest vines, which are hand picked and three times thinned, help produce these low yielding, high quality wines.
Grapes are given a long, cool fermentation under temperature- controlled conditions in "Rieger" stainless steel tanks.
