Tasting notes
Tasted blind. Pale gold. Bit natty – some evident skin contact in a savoury, skins-y peach nose. Off dry, with moderate acidity. The typicality of the place and variety are here but it doesn’t show the height of its pedigree. (SCJ)

A game-changing dry pinot gris that manages to get all the floral-honey character and creaminess that fans of this category adore into a self-confidently dry package. In spite of the wine’s imposing stature, it only weighs in at 13% alcohol and this gives it a lightness of touch that the pink-grapefruit aroma at the super-elegant finish only accentuates. The first dry pinot gris from this site, which has similar soil to the famous Grand Cru Schoenenbourg. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
