Pépin Blanc is a natural wine crafted by Pépin, in the Alsace region in France. This white wine is made with Riesling, Silvaner, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer grapes, which are grown on clay & limestone soils before being pressed directly and aged in stainless steels tanks on the fine lees.
The Pépin Blanc is focused on minerality, acidity & salinity so works great paired with ceviches, grilled fish and citrus desserts.
The color is clear with intense golden hues. Pépin Blanc is lively, dry and has good drinkability. A scent of ripe peach, slightly stewed lemon, hazelnuts, plums and apricot. Delightfully juicy and easy going with a mild tropical mouthfeel.
