Weingut Hees

James Suckling: "It’s hard to imagine how an entry-level dry pinot blanc could be better than this, because the depth would also be impressive for a village wine, which is the next level up. Huge smoky minerality on the medium- to full-bodied palate, which is simultaneously well rounded and wonderfully fresh and animating. Striking aromas of sage and tarragon with touches of flint. Some may find the crisp and emphatically dry finish a tad austere, but I love the way this makes the finish totally clean. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
