Its origin in Saxony, more precisely in Radebeul, shapes its profile. The vineyards lie on the slopes northeast of Dresden, characterized by steep sites, proximity to the Elbe and a cool yet sunny climate. Loess, weathered rock and sandy layers give the wine a fine, subtly salty minerality. The Elbe moderates temperature extremes and provides long ripening periods for the Pinot Noir grapes.

Production of Pfeiffers Schoppen Blanc de Noir off-dry from Weingut Hoflößnitz The grapes for this wine come from selected sites around Radebeul in Saxony. Here, a continental climate meets the balancing influence of the Elbe. Warm days and cool nights promote slow ripening. In this way, Pinot Noir develops intense aromas with moderate alcohol.

With this wine, Weingut Hoflößnitz pursues a clear style. The focus is on a fresh, easy-drinking Blanc de N...
