The 2023 Girlan Alto Adige Platt & Riegl Pinot Bianco is a beautifully refined alpine white from Alto Adige, crafted from high-altitude Pinot Bianco vineyards around Cornaiano and Eppan Berg. Combining mountain freshness with subtle texture, the wine balances bright orchard fruit with mineral precision and gentle lees complexity. The nose reveals white peach, pear and lemon zest layered alongside delicate white flowers, wet stone and subtle nutty notes, giving the wine freshness and elegance.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity, silky texture and a refreshing mineral line. Fresh citrus and orchard fruit flavours are balanced by saline freshness and subtle savoury complexity, finishing clean, vibrant and finely detailed with classic Alto Adige precision.
