This wine has multiple virtues including relatively wide availability, a wisely-utilized screw cap closure, very reasonable pricing and — last but hardly least, excellent quality. It is a bit fresher and lighter by comparison to the norm, but still a generous wine with open fruit flavors, interesting mineral undertones, and admirable balance thanks to very well integrated acidity. Although I rarely find opportunities to taste it, Tiefenbrunner also makes a higher-level release of Pinot Bianco with a proprietary name of “Anna” in the “Turmhof” line, so be on the lookout for that.
