From the oldest vines and aged for 10 months on the lees in 100% new oak, the 2018 Pinot Blanc Wehlener Klosterberg *** is enormously deep, concentrated and aromatic on the rocky and terroir-expressive nose that indicates perfectly ripe fruit and richness. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and intense, very powerful but also refined and elegant, silky-textured Pinot with great finesse and mineral elegance on the endlessly pure and sustainably salty finish. It's an impressive Pinot Blanc in its own league. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. 96+ Stephan Reinhardt The Wine Advocate
