WINE DESCRIPTION

Hailing from the Alsace, this wine is crafted from grapes grown in the esteemed Clos Zwingel vineyard, which was planted in the 1980s. The winemaking process involves careful attention to detail, resulting in a wine that beautifully expresses the characteristics of the Pinot Gris varietal. The grapes are harvested manually, and then fermented in oak barrels, in which ithe wine is further aged on the lees before bottling. The production is very limited, so do not miss the chance to taste this beautiful expression of classic Alsacian Pinot Gris.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, you can expect enticing aromas of ripe pear, honeyed apricot, and hints of floral notes.These aromas are complemented by subtle mineral undertones, adding depth to the overall bouquet.
The palate is equally impressive, with a medium to full body and a rich, creamy texture. The flavors of juicy stone fruits, such as peach and nectarine, take center stage, accompanied by a touch of citrus zest. The wine's well-balanced acidity provides a refreshing lift, while the slight oak notes add a pleasant touch of complexity.
