höfflin Weisser Burgunder Löss 2023 - 0,75l

Höfflin Pinot Blanc 2023 is a dry Pinot Blanc from Baden with lemon and green almond, grassy lift, loess-soil grip and a cool Markgräflerland line in the glass. It is a leaner, herbal take on Pinot Blanc, with 11 percent alcohol and stainless steel aging. Open it for fish, seafood, spring vegetables or a sharp salad.

About the Wine
The 2023 Höfflin Pinot Blanc comes from loess soils in Markgräflerland, the southern Baden district named in the product data rather than the wider region alone. Loess gives this wine a fine dusty grip, which fits the green almond note better than a rounder stone-fruit profile. The sustainable certification is part of the farming story here. The 2023 season reads cool in the glass through grassy scent, lemon brightness and a narrower frame than many warmer Baden whites. Pinot Blanc can easily turn soft in this part of Germany, yet Höfflin’s version stays on the herbal side of the grape. In the cellar, Höfflin aged this dry Pinot Blanc in stainless steel tanks. That choice keeps the wine’s lemon, cut grass and tart almond notes in a clean line. The alcohol sits at 11 percent, so the structure comes from acidity and extract rather than warmth. The finish has a light phenolic edge, like almond skin and fresh garden herbs. The final impression is a stainless steel white with a cool 2023 pulse and a distinct loess-soil grip.

Tasting Notes
Lemon peel, cut grass and green almond sit close to the nose, with a quiet grassy scent that feels very Höfflin in this 2023 Pinot Blanc. The palate is dry and direct, driven by a firm acid line that makes the wine feel cooler than its Baden origin might suggest. Green almond returns on the mid-palate, joined by tart herbs and a faint dusty grip from the loess soils of Markgräflerland. The 11 percent alcohol keeps the body slim, so the finish lands on citrus pith, salad leaf and almond skin rather than ripe orchard fruit. Drink from 2025 to 2027.

Food Pairing
Pour Höfflin Pinot Blanc 2023 with grilled trout, lemon sole or a plate of cold prawns with herb mayonnaise. The wine’s lemony acidity and green almond bite are especially good with seafood that has a clean, saline taste. For a regional plate, choose Markgräfler asparagus with Kratzete and chive quark, as the herbal freshness meets the vegetable sweetness directly. It also suits salads with fennel, cucumber or green apple, especially when the dressing has a sharp citrus or vinegar edge. For a simple vegetarian dinner, try charred courgettes with mint, sheep’s cheese and toasted almonds.

Producer
Höfflin’s most concrete signature here is the decision to place Pinot Blanc in a narrow frame: dry ferment, stainless steel aging, loess-grown fruit and only 11 percent alcohol. The choice gives this Baden wine a producer imprint in texture: clean edges, a lightly dusty feel and a finish that stays herbal. Höfflin names the Markgräflerland district on this wine, which helps separate it from broader Baden Pinot Blancs built around riper yellow fruit. The sustainable certification is part of the producer’s presentation here, and it sits naturally alongside a wine that feels measured from vineyard to bottle. The handling of the 2023 vintage feels candid: the cool season is present in the grassy scent, lemony acidity and tart green almond tone. The bottle shows a useful honesty for a premium marketplace, as the details are easy to read in the glass rather than hidden behind cellar polish.
