2024 Pinot Blanc

NEW RELEASE

Pinot Blanc is a refined white grape variety, best known for producing elegant, medium-bodied wines with a delicate balance of fruit and freshness. Originating as a pale mutation of Pinot Noir, it thrives in cool climates such as Alsace, northern Italy, Germany…and Monterey, California! As a smooth, balanced, and generally very attractive white wine option, the big question is: why aren’t there more Pinot Blancs out there? A rather telling sign is that it is persnickety in the vineyard and low-yielding. As the genetic cousin of Pinot Gris, which is a genetic mutation of Pinot Noir, it can be quite a capricious varietal. But here at Scheid, we laugh in the face of danger, especially when at the other end of the challenge lies an intriguing and unique wine that we love to drink ourselves.

Our 2024 Pinot Blanc is a rich and expressive wine with fragrant aromas of yellow apple, citrus and melon. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a soft, round mouthfeel. The lingering finish has subtle notes of caramel and vanilla with a kiss of toasty oak.
