I love this wine' — 11 years ago
From half bottle. Birth year wine. Excellent surprise, this wine is quite precise on the nose with a saline minerality, yellow flowers, orange marmalade, some wax although the wine is quote fresh and not really tasting tired or oxidized in any way. Palette is unfortunately defined by an alcoholic weight (10% on the label) which detracts from the wine’s otherwise great elegance and ethereal nature. Not overly sweet with sufficient though not especially racy acidity. Overall very fun to drink and in a great spot from 375.

Huge quality-for-price here. Pure, intense, and juicy dark cherries, cinnamon-y spice, and just a wisp of evergreen and some flowers when I look for them. Under $20 pinot that will please crowds and critics alike: ✔️. Plus this was still delicious the 2nd day. — 10 years ago

Orleans is a rare white wine grape variety grown in small proportions in Pfalz, Germany.
As a wine, Orleans has distinctive pineapple aromas and a slight spiciness. It shows excellent aging potential but, as it can be challenging in the vineyard, it is consequently quite unpopular with winemakers.
