Pinot Blanc
Pinot Blanc is a delicate, approachable white grape that’s loved for its balance and versatility. Often found in the cool climates of Europe, it ripens in a way that helps keep the wine fresh, while still allowing plenty of flavour to develop. Depending on where it’s grown and how it’s made, Pinot Blanc can range from light and crisp to softly rounded and gently textured.
In the glass, you’ll commonly notice notes of apple, pear and citrus, with a subtle hint of floral character. With careful winemaking, it can also bring a touch of almond or warm stone-fruit complexity, especially when the wine is given a little time on lees or treated with oak more sparingly. The result is a wine that’s easy to enjoy on its own, yet capable of pairing confidently with a wide range of meals.
If you’re exploring the Grapes range, Pinot Blanc is a great starting point for understanding how white varieties express terroir. Look out for dry styles for everyday sipping, or slightly fuller expressions if you prefer a smoother finish. It’s a reliable choice for everything from light lunches to seafood and creamy dishes.
