Pinot Gris & Pinot Blanc Barrique, De Kleine Schorre

Description:
De Kleine Schorre's Pinot Gris & Pinot Blanc Barrique is a rich and refined white wine from Zeeland that perfectly demonstrates the high quality of Dutch wine. On the nose, you'll discover full aromas of ripe pear, apricot, and peach, subtly complemented by fresh citrus and elegant notes of vanilla, toast, and light spice from oak aging. This combination creates a complex and inviting wine with a beautiful balance between fruit and wood.

The palate is full and creamy with a soft, round structure, while fresh acidity provides tension and drinkability. The combination of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc offers both aromatic richness and refined minerality, perfectly uniting power and elegance. An excellent choice for lovers of full-bodied white wines with depth, balance, and a subtle hint of oak.

When to drink:
Ideal for an elaborate dinner, a culinary evening at home, or a special occasion where you truly want to enjoy a fine glass of wine. This wine is best paired with dishes that have more structure and richness.

Fun fact:
De Kleine Schorre is one of the few Dutch wineries that applies barrique aging in a refined way. The wood is consciously used subtly to add extra depth, creaminess, and structure, without overpowering the fruit. This results in an elegant and balanced style.

Winemaker:
Located on Schouwen-Duiveland, De Kleine Schorre has been producing wines for years that reflect the unique Zeeland terroir. The influence of the sea, the salty soils, and the constant wind create fresh, characterful wines. Thanks to the collaboration with Domaine Henri Ruppert, local knowledge is combined with international expertise, resulting in wines of a high standard.

Food pairing tip:
Perfect with baked sea bass, turbot with beurre blanc, scallops, or poultry in a creamy sauce. Also an excellent match with mushroom risotto, roasted vegetables, or refined vegetarian dishes with root vegetables. Additionally, it pairs beautifully with soft cheeses such as brie, taleggio, or young Dutch goat cheese.
