Von Winning, Weisser Burgunder

€18.99

Wonderful, wonderful wine from one of our all-time favourite wineries. This time made by the bridesmaid grape variety of Pinot Blanc, you get freshness and charming fruit flavours but with more prettiness and less complexity or strident acidity. Fragrant and mineral, clean as a whistle and delicious with or without food. Of course...

Ultra-modern yet as old as the Mesolithic seabeds on which these vineyards are based, this paradox joins in vibrant and focused wine-making that uses the best of old techniques and eschews trends by presenting the best of soils, variety and tradition in each wine made. This is the Von Winning way, and no way are we doing that pun, it is a winning formula. (Oh dear).

The grapes for the Weisserburgunder come from deep calcerous soils that are mineral rich, but oddly for ancient sea beds, have no fossils. And they've looked...

One of Germany’s oldest wineries, Weingut von Winning was founded in 1849 and given a new lease of life by Achim Niederberger in 2007. He brought in winemakers, (pictured below) Stephan Attman (white shirt) and Andreas Hütwohl (green trousers and cheesy grin), and well, the results speak for themselves.

Amazing service from the get go!
I emailed Chris looking for wine recommendations for a birthday gift. Got a really speedy, helpful reply and not only that but he hand delivered it on time to the birthday girl wishing her a happy birthday. Absolutely bowled over by the service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Could not recommend The Allotment enough. The selection is fantastic and each wine that I've drank from them has been utterly phenomenal. Delivery was no hassle and I had the wine at my door in 2 days. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A great experience ordering from The Allotment Wine Company. A wide variety of wines to try something new and at good prices with super quick delivery! Really convenient too as opposed to trying to find parking!

★★★★★
Delicious and interesting range of wines delivered promptly to my door. Not far off that lovely feeling of coming back laden from a good wine store but without any of the traffic or the worry of breaking the wine en route (very impressive travel wrap).
