The French sibling of the Weissburgunder, Pinot Blanc, is world-famous. But Ellermann Spiegel also gives its Weissburgunder its well-deserved fame. Wow! That's the very first thing we noted when we first tasted this wine a few years ago.
Ellermann Spiegel's fifty hectare vineyard
In 2006, Frank Spiegel acquired nearly fifty hectares of vineyard from his stepfather, Harald Ellermann. He subsequently renamed the winery Ellermann-Spiegel. In a short time, Frank transformed the company from a bulk supplier to a quality winery with its own bottlings. Weingut Ellermann-Spiegel is located in the southernmost tip of the Palatinate, benefiting from a unique microclimate. The wines are excellent for pairing, beautiful, and full of character.
All the wines are excellent, one after the other. This Weissburgunder falls into the latter category. The grapes are harvested by hand, followed by a strict selection process. Only the finest juice is good enough to bear the Ellermann Spiegel name. The grapes are macerated for twelve hours before pressing.
The purity of Weissburgunder
The aroma is complex and deep. The tropical fruit is beautifully balanced with the fresh citrus notes. Take a sip of this Ellermann Spiegel Weissburgunder, and the first thing that strikes you is its purity. The wine is so pure and elegant, you'll want to take another sip after each one. The fruity notes of pineapple, passion fruit, peach, and citrus are beautiful and pleasant. The fresh, fruity acidity tingles the back of your tongue. The finish is almost masterfully long. Try this Weissburgunder with asparagus, lobster, or poultry. The combination is beautiful! Taste this Ellermann Spiegel Weissburgunder, and you'll enjoy this phenomenal wine endlessly!
