Description

Carsten Saalwächter’s 2024 Weißer Burgunder is a Pinot Blanc from 28-year-old vines in Steinacker, where Ingelheim’s limestone soils lend the wine its sense of place. Made with hand-harvested fruit, spontaneous fermentation and extended lees ageing in a traditional 600-litre cask, it is a thoughtful, low-intervention expression of Rheinhessen.

Tasting Notes
The wine opens reserved, so give it time and air in the glass. Its initially shy bouquet gradually reveals ripe yellow apple, quince and pale stone fruit, layered with herbal, yeasty and lightly aromatic notes. A faint reductive note may appear at first but soon blows off. The source description does not specify its appearance or a recommended ageing window.

Production
The 28-year-old vines grow in the limestone-influenced soils of the Steinacker site in Ingelheim. The grapes are hand-harvested and pressed very slowly over 24 hours, then undergo spontaneous fermentation. The wine spends an extended period on its lees in a traditional 600-litre half-cask, with minimal intervention, and is bottled without fining or filtration.

Food & Serving
Try it with roast chicken, pork, delicate fish or creamy vegetable dishes, whose flavours should complement its ripe orchard fruit and lees-derived character. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. As the wine benefits from air, decanting it for 30–60 minutes—or simply allowing it to open in the glass—is a good idea.
