Pinot Gris grapes, matured for 12 months in large barrels. A wine in which the terroir – in this case the chalky soil of Rosenberg – clear prevails over the varietal. A pale (at least for the varietal) yet very lively, straw-yellow color and a bouquet that plays on reduction with notes of quince apple and Williams pear that are a tad closed by one of flint. The mouthfeel is almost that of a Riesling, not heavy, with notes of white flowers, making this a Pinot Gris that may not be broad but is remarkably deep.
