Abarbanel Pinot Blanc


Abarbanel Pinot Blanc Abarbanel is proud to have introduced the first-ever kosher Pinot Blanc from Alsace in the U.S. with the 2002 vintage. We are excited about the release of the new 2006 vintage for September 2007 in time for Simchat Torah. The Alsace region is world-famous for its intense white wines such as Gewurztraminer and Riesling.

Pinot Blanc is the grape from which Abarbanel’s renowned Brut Cremant Sparkling is made. This is a still version of the Brut Cremant. A dry, smooth and fruity white, Pinot Blanc is the genetic cousin of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.

Look for subtle flavors of baked apple, pears and melons along with a hint of cream and apricots. Can be enjoyed on its own or paired particularly with poultry or light white fish such as Sole, Flounder, Trout or Halibut. Serve semi-chilled (no more than one to 1.5 hours in the fridge). Mevushal. O-U Certified.

"Highly Recommended"
Abarbanel 2006 Estate Bottled, Pinot Blanc
Straw yellow emerald color. Paraffin, cement, and quince aromas. A bright, round entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium body of baked yellow apple, clover honey, and meringue flavors. Finishes with a mild apple, pear, and mineral accented fade. Nicely styled—even and round.

Abarbanel Pinot Blanc ‘02
"Kosher Golden yellow color. Honeysuckle and canned peach aromas have a botrytris. A round entry leads to a dry medium-bodied palate with tart apricot skin, citrus, and metallic mineral flavors. Finishes with a tart quick lightly bitter and metallic fade."
