MT EDWARD PINOT BLANC 09

Mt Edward Pinot Blanc 09

$22.15 750 MLS
Mt Edward Central Otago Pinot Blanc 2009 (18.0+/20) at 13.0% alc and 11.0 g/l rs, fruit from the ‘L’Attitude’ vineyard in Lowburn, was brilliant pale straw-green in colour, and displayed beautiful florals, white stonefruits with a hint of exotic tropicals on the bouquet. Off dry, this had a softness and delicacy on palate, subtle florals with minerals, enhanced by the gentle sweetness. An attractive wine.  RC Apr 10

As the workhorse variety of Alsace, Pinot Blanc is the most useful wine of this fairytale region of France. In its lesser form, the wine is earthy, coarse and rustic; but when grown in favourable sites and made by the hand of a good vigneron, Pinot Blanc can rise to the quality of top Pinot Gris. This 2009 Mount Edward is the second vintage from Duncan Forsyth, made from fruit grown in the ‘L’Attitude’ vineyard in Lowburn, the cuttings originating from Larry McKenna’s vineyard in Martinborough. It is nearly identical to the superb inaugural 2008 wine at 13.0% alc and 11 g/l rs. This off-dry style has great class with its beautiful, mineral aromas and succulent white peach flavours on a softly crisp and refreshing palate. There is finesse and delicacy here which lends the wine to aperitif drinking, or as a match with seafood and poultry. This will drink well over the next 3-4 years. Only 85 cases made. RC Jan 10
