Pinot Blanc is a white grape variety that produces wines with a full body, offering a softer alternative to the more acidic wines made from its relative, Chardonnay. Originating from the Alsace region of France, it has found a niche in Australia, where winemakers are exploring its potential to create textured, aromatic wines. Australian Pinot Blancs typically showcase flavors of apple, pear, and a hint of citrus, with a creamy texture and a capacity for aging, reflecting the country's diverse terroir and innovative winemaking practices.
