THE WINE
This Pinot Blanc is made using semi-carbonic fermentation, gentle pressing & maturing in old barrique. 
 
In the vineyard the rows are beautiful with a myriad of various flowers and plants in between. Bees, bumble bees, butterflies and other small creatures buzz around our noses. Biodiversity is key for Christine. She’s looking deeper and deeper into biodynamic farming. Nettles, chamomile and other herbs are planted in her garden, out of which she makes the remedies for the vines. The local flora is also reflected on the labels of her bottles. Every label shows a leaf from one of the locally growing trees around the vineyards, handpicked and handprinted onto fabric before being digitised to make the labels.
 
THE FAMILY
The Pieroth family have been growing vines in Nahe since 1781. This area is one of the hottest and driest in Germany, shielded by the Hunsrück hills, which protects from both rain & frost. Current winemaker Christine Pieroth farms with a focus on biodiversity in the vineyards and incresingly uses biodynamic farming practices. She makes pure & presise wines without additives. 
 
THE PLACE
Nahe lies between Rheinhessen and the Mosel, somehow it appears like the middle way between the other two wine regions in looks and terrain. The soil is incredibly dry and warm. As Piri explains, this is one of the hottest and driest regions in Germany. “We are shielded by the Hunsrück hills that offer protection from rain and frost in early spring.”
The soil complexity in the Nahe is second to none in Germany. Volcanic, clay, limestone and some slate poking through it all. “You can feel it, you can taste it in the wine, this mix is a gift from mother nature. I am so blessed with it.”  - she says.
