Pinot Blanc is a white wine grape variety. It's a genetic mutation of Pinot Noir and it is often compared to Chardonnay. It is known for its ample acidity and fresh, crisp flavors. The grape is versatile, and can produce a variety of wine styles including sparkling wines, and still wines which may be dry or sweet.
In the glass, Pinot Blanc often has a light, pale color. On the nose and palate, it's typically characterized by notes of green apple, pear, almond, honey, lemon zest and sometimes a hint of smoky or spicy undertones. The best examples of Pinot Blanc usually come from cooler climates such as Alsace in France, the northern regions of Italy, and certain regions in Germany and Austria.
Despite its quality, it is often underrated and overlooked in favor of more famous white grape varieties. Nonetheless, it can offer excellent value for those who appreciate its typically light, refreshing, and subtly aromatic character. Its high acidity makes it a good pairing for a variety of dishes including seafood, poultry, and light pasta dishes.
