Pinot Noir 'Illusion' 2021 (750 ml.) - Meyer-Nakel
Pinot Noir 'Illusion' by Meyer-Näkel is a white wine produced from Pinot Noir grapes vinified in white. He was born in Germany on an estate located in the Ahr river valley. It is a Blanc de Noir, a white wine obtained from a soft pressing of red grapes, without subsequent maceration on the skins. The free-run must is then vinified off-white with fermentation in steel tanks and a small percentage in barriques. Six months aging in steel on fine lees. The result is a rich and enveloping wine on the palate, where the warm notes of yellow pulp fruit are well balanced by a clear flavor, while on the nose the aromas of apple, peach and pear and the light citrus and iodine scents create a perfect balance between freshness and intensity. To taste!

Its grand crus, Grosses Gewächs, are high-end wines characterized by extreme finesse, precision and perfect dosage of wood.
