This Pinot Blanc from the Frey winery in Rheinhessen, Germany, is a dry (trocken) white wine crafted from grapes grown in Ober-Flörsheim. The Frey winery, rooted in the area since the 18th century, has been producing organic wines since 2013 and utilizes near-natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The 2023 vintage is made with 90% fermentation in stainless steel and 10% in French oak, resulting in a wine with just a touch of residual sugar (4.9g/l). The wine greets the nose with an elegant bouquet, featuring notes of white flowers, lemon pith, and lanolin. Ripe orchard fruit, white spices, and occasional exotic notes are also mentioned. Some descriptions also point to ripe pears and apple notes, complemented by bread and honey. The palate is described as dry and vibrant, showcasing a lush, rich, and round texture. Flavors of honeydew and gala apple are prominent, with a touch of ginger providing a subtle spice. Hints of grapeskin bitterness may also be present. There's a balance between ripe fruit, sweetness (from the small amount of residual sugar), and a bright, lively acidity. This wine falls in the light to medium body range. It's described as refreshing, with a clean and almost smoky mineral note that lingers on the palate.
