The 2009 Weissburgunder (Pinot Bianco) Terlaner emerges from the glass with layers of mineral-infused lemon peel, crisp apples and flowers. This is a decidedly focused wine with gorgeous length and fine overall harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. This is another strong set of wine from Niedrist. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to taste new vintages of Niedrist’s reds. Importers: Petit Pois, Moorestown, NJ; tel. (856) 608-9644; Oliver McCrum Wines, Oakland, CA; tel. (510) 654-9159

The 2008 Weissburgunder Terlaner (Pinot Bianco) is wonderfully fresh and nuanced in its crisp, floral fruit. Medium in body, the mineral-driven Weissburgunder reveals notable elegance and a long, zesty finish. This is a classy effort from Niedrist. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. I was quite taken with the wines I tasted from Ignaz Niedrist this year. Importer: Petit Pois, Moorestown, NJ; tel. (856) 608-9644
