Synonymous with the French Pinot Blanc, this ancient variety thrives in fertile or chalky
soils and ripens fairly late. Weissburgunder wines have a less pronounced, relatively neutral
bouquet, yet more acidity, than the Grauburgunder (from which it mutated). The drier style
wines are extremely popular with food. Most plantings are in Baden and the Pfalz, but it is
also a traditional variety in the Saale-Unstrut and Sachsen regions.
