Vorberg Riserva Terlano Pinot Bianco

Vintage 2015 | magnum | peaches in smell, much power in taste.

Always a classic, Vorberg always delivers and does do here with more approachable 2022 fruit!

The 2011 Pinot Bianco Riserva Vorberg is wonderfully fresh and perfumed, with hints of custard giving way to pretty yellow flowers, nuances of chamomile and citrus-tinged apple. This is soft and round on the palate, with lifting acids and sweet inner herbal tones coming across as fully resolved and giving, yet also finessed. It tapers off with a lemony concentration that lingers long. The 2011 is gorgeous today, and it shows remarkable lift for being the result of a warm vintage. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2022)

Stunning.

Tight but already exploding with pristine fruit and minerals. Heady peach and nectarine, white blossoms. Vibrant.

Finally a wine that lives up to the hype. Engaging on so many levels. And drinking at room temp really brought out all the components. 2016 still super young at 5 yrs. can’t wait to try my other bottles down the road.

The best Pinot Blanc in the world?

Absolutely stunning example of Pinot Bianco, an underrated variety in my opinion. The nose shows yellow apple, orange blossom, some creamy custardy character and a slight hint of sweet spice. In the mouth this wine is lush and lively with loads of texture from the barrel ferment and sur-lie aging. Quince jam, pineapple upside-down cake, and chamomile resonate on the intense finish. Had this for the first time at Single Thread a year and a half ago and bought a few bottles shortly thereafter. Worth it.

apple pie, pear, orchard blossoms, hints of orange marmalade meld on the nose meld into nectars of peach, nectarine, apricot & guava then finish w a mineral lime note

@Daron Watson And this is a good one too.

Great showing in my blind tasting group.
