Description
Experience the refined elegance of Cave de Hunawihr's Klevner Pinot Blanc Réserve 2023, a superbly crafted dry white wine from the picturesque Alsace region of France. Nestled between the majestic Vosges Mountains, this wine benefits from a unique semi-continental climate that creates the perfect conditions for cultivating grapes. The vineyard, which features 25-year-old vines on south-facing slopes, imparts a distinct mineral character to this exceptional Pinot Blanc.
The 2023 vintage showcases a careful blend of fruit sourced from various micro-parcels within the Hunawihr vineyards, ensuring a harmonious balance between bright citrus and stone fruit notes. The wine's meticulous fermentation process, followed by maturation in stainless steel tanks, perfectly preserves the vibrant character of the fruit.
- Nose: A captivating bouquet of crisp apple and juicy pear melds with delicate hints of white peach and apricot, enhanced by subtle citrus zest and soft floral aromas.
- Palate: Silky and medium-bodied, it reveals layers of green apple and delicate pear, complemented by a creamy texture and lively acidity. The finish is clean, vibrant, and nuanced with a touch of mineral depth.
- Finish: A smooth, lingering finish envelops the palate with notes of ripe pear and crushed almond, ending with a delicate warmth from almond bitterness and soft citrus.
For the ideal tasting experience, serve your Klevner Pinot Blanc Réserve chilled between 8-10°C. The wine shines when paired with:
- Grilled white meats, such as herb-marinated chicken or pork tenderloin, enhanced by a squeeze of fresh lemon.
- A vibrant salad featuring grilled peaches, burrata cheese, arugula, and a honey-balsamic reduction for delightful contrasts.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or a sprig of fresh thyme to add a refreshing aroma as you sip.
- Try using the wine to poach pears or apricots, serving the fruit chilled with mascarpone and toasted almonds for a delicious dessert.
- Perfect for alfresco gatherings, especially during spring and summer evenings, this wine elevates light, seasonal dishes.
- Experiment with a sparkling white wine cocktail by adding bubbles and a splash of elderflower cordial, served over ice with edible flowers.
Delight in the intricate flavors and sunny elegance of the Cave de Hunawihr Klevner Pinot Blanc Réserve 2023—an excellent choice for those seeking a versatile and refreshing white wine experience.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine like this 2023 vintage Pinot Blanc Réserve:
- Temperature: Store at a consistent cool temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve freshness and delicate aromas. Avoid fluctuations to prevent premature aging.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place or wrapped to minimize exposure to light which can degrade the wine quality.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is properly sealed with the original cork to prevent oxidation. If opened reseal tightly with a cork or wine stopper to maintain freshness.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle lying on its side to keep the cork moist which prevents air from entering and spoiling the wine.
- Humidity: Maintain humidity around 70% to prevent cork drying out and shrinkage which could compromise the seal.
- Special Notes for Opened Bottles: Once opened white wine can be kept in the refrigerator at about 45°F and should be consumed within 2-3 days for best quality. Use a wine stopper to reduce oxidation.
Avoid long-term storage in a conventional refrigerator as it may dry out the cork but short-term refrigeration after opening is recommended.
These conditions will help maintain the wine’s crispness aroma and overall quality for both unopened and opened bottles.
