pinot blanc -1954-

piri naturel, helmed by christine pieroth, produces this soulful wine from vines planted in 1954—a name that refers to the age of the vines, not the vintage. aged on red slate soils, the wine exhibits purity, power, and focus. fermented spontaneously and matured in gently used oak over 30 months, it’s an elegant yet confident expression of germany’s nahe region.

flavor profile juicy apple, citrus freshness, herbal spice.
expect aromas of orchard fruit and lemon peel with subtle herbal spice. the palate is full-bodied and saline, lean yet energetic, with great grip and a clean, mineral finish that lingers.

grape varieties and region specifics
made from 100% pinot blanc sourced from 70‑year‑old vines in the burg layer schloßberg vineyard (grand cru level) on red slate soils in nahe, germany. farming is organic/biodynamic, fermentation is spontaneous, and the wine spends 2.5 years in used oak barrels to build texture without overshadowing the slate‑driven minerality.

perfect pairings and occasions
this wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled white fish, or creamy cheeses. its energy, length, and mineral purity make it ideal for gastronomic dinners, refined gatherings, or aging in cellars for future evolution.
