Georg Lingenfelder Grauburgunder 2023 white

Georg Lingenfelder’s 2023 white wine is a distinctive, low-intervention expression from the Pfalz, made from Silvaner grapes grown on mature vines. With natural fermentation, extended skin contact and 14 months of maturation in Pfalz oak, it offers a more textured and individual style than a straightforward fresh white wine.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bright golden hue in the glass. Its nose is engaging and expressive, led by ripe yellow-fruit aromas, with the extended maceration adding extra depth and a subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, it is textured and quietly powerful, balancing rounded fruit with gentle tannic grip from the grape skins and stems. The oak maturation contributes structure without overshadowing the fruit. Its depth and natural acidity should allow it to develop further in bottle over the coming years.

Production
The grapes were hand-harvested from healthy vines more than 30 years old in the Freinsheimer Musikantenbuckel vineyard. Following harvest, the grapes were crushed and left to macerate for seven days, allowing flavour and tannin to develop naturally while fermentation began with indigenous yeasts. The must was then pressed and matured in oak barrels made from Pfalz oak for 14 months before bottling, with minimal oenological intervention throughout.

Food & Serving
Its textured character makes it a versatile partner for roasted poultry, pork, creamy vegetable dishes, mushrooms and richly seasoned fish. It also works well with mature soft cheeses and dishes featuring root vegetables. Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C; decanting is not essential, but a short period of aeration can help reveal the wine’s aromatic depth.
