The Characteristics of Weissburgunder Wine
Originating in France's Burgundy region, Weissburgunder wine is mostly associated with Germany. The grape's thin skin makes it susceptible to damage from disease and pests, although it ripens early and has high acidity, making it great for making crisp and refreshing wines.
The grapes used to make Weissburgunder wine are typically harvested by hand, then gently pressed to extract the juice. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve the fruitiness of the wine.
Weissburgunder wine is known for its fresh, crisp, and fruity taste. It has a pale straw color with a delicate aroma of apple, pear, and citrus fruits. On the palate, it is light and refreshing, with a clean finish.
Weissburgunder wine pairs well with various foods, including seafood, chicken, and salads. It is a versatile wine that can be paired with both light and heavy dishes.
Most Weissburgunder wines are dry, although sweet versions like Spätlese or Auslese labeled bottles are available. Weissburgunder wine is best served chilled, between 8-10°C.
A typical bottle of Weissburgunder has an alcohol content of 11-13%. Vi.Wine offers a wide variety of high-quality wines and Weinberg Riesling wine in our online marketplace. Find your favorite Weissburgunder wine and enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.
