100 Hills Pinot Blanc

Apple, pear, pineapple, very slight vanilla / medium body, medium to med+ acidity / slightly round on the palette - not stark or austere / orchard fruit on the palette; leans tropical on the finish

This has something for the casual drinker and a lot for the wine geek.

Tried a few German ones yesterday. This was the most interesting of the bunch. Bone dry, nice acidity, great mouthfeel. Really enjoyed the mid palate on this.

Dry. Fresh. #wbc15

4th wine of my birthday blind tasting. I found the right country but not the right varietal 😅.
Very flinty nose, hay, white flower, a bit of lemon zest too which is what tipped me off I think (I thought it was a German riesling). There was a bit of co2 upon opening too which is one more reason for me calling it a riesling blind.
The palate is clearly not that of a riesling, now that I now, but hey 😁. Long and bright palate with some width, some very vivid mouthfeel, some grip, a tiny touch of lemon zest. The grip is tightening in the rear and powers up a long, fresh, subtly zesty finish. This is a good one!

Edit. The wine opened after an hour or so and some nice underlying peachy and peary notes popped on the palate, making it delicious. One more point

Bone dry and fresh

minerals and chalk on the nose and palate, some mild citrus flavor, very dry but a medium, smooth mouthfeel. easy drinking, great with our ceviche!

Effervescent. Limestone, a little chalky, light bodied. Nice dry finish.

Smell is limestone, honeydew .....taste, slight effervescent, honey notes, acid, lime grass, unripe pear.... great summer sipper....very dry

Rich mouthfeel
