Vinification: The juice for Paul Blanck's Riesling is extracted with infinite care in an air-bag press. The slow, gentle pressing avoids crushing the stalks and pips. The must starts fermenting of its own accord thanks to the natural yeast present in the juice, and the fermentation generally lasts from 4 to 10 weeks. It is carried out in stainless-steel vats equipped with temperature control, a medium which maximizes the expression of this variety's aromas.

Elevage: Once the fermentation is finished, Blanck Riesling has to be matured. This stage is essential, in order to fix its structure and aromas. As the wine matures, the tiny particles in suspension gradually sink to the bottom of the vat and form a deposit, which contributes richness.

Tasting Notes: Light yellow. Floral notes and fine acidity on the nose. Flavors of lemon, pineapple, mineral and hints of sweet floral. Ideal as a starter wine or pair with white fish, radish salad, or goat cheese.
