Alto Adige at its finest..... the 2016 is creamy in texture, perhaps lacking the classic structure of the 2015 ...
Seems more like the 2014...
....softer around the edges and quite approachable young... delicious...
....although the 2016 became somewhat reticent about an hour after opening
Will be interested in Ian's perspective.
Rudi Kofler is a genius in letting the terroir speak clearly through this special varietal..

Day 2 shows enhanced fullness and depth of character. A relatively big wine for this cuvee, but now we see mineral underpinnings coming to the fore on the finish.
To me, this rendition of Pinot Bianco has shares some characteristics of an excellent chenin blanc (textural mouthfeel and slight hints of sweetness that are offset beautifully by the minerally bitterness on the finish).
The wine's viscosity signals a long life ahead.
Paired wonderfully with goat cheese infused with spices and bits of exotic peppers, and sides of fresh grapes and caramelized pecans. The bittersweet finish on the caramelized pecans was an unexpectedly delicious complement to the Vorberg magic.
