Which grape is NOT permitted in Vendange Tardive and Selection des Grains Nobles?
Correct Answer:
Pinot Blanc
Explanation:
In Alsace, Vendange Tardive and Selection des Grains Nobles are designated for wines made from specific noble grape varieties that are capable of concentrating flavors through late harvest or botrytization. Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris are among the varieties commonly permitted for these labels because they maintain acidity and develop their characteristic aromatics even in concentrated, sweet styles. Pinot Blanc, on the other hand, is not part of the permitted set for VT and SGN; it’s typically used for other styles and doesn’t contribute the same aromatic profile or structure that these late-harvest and botrytized wines rely on. So Pinot Blanc is not allowed for Vendange Tardive or Selection des Grains Nobles.
