Taste profile
Details
Pinot Gris 2024 shows a different side of the Kaiserstuhl. A wine with tension and depth, guided by freshness rather than volume.
The grapes come from two sites: the Eckartsberg in Breisach and Oberrotweil, on the southwest slope of the Kaiserstuhl, overlooking the Rhine and Alsace. Volcanic soils and loess keep the wine fresh, even in warm years.
Harvest focuses on tension and structure. After harvest, the grapes are crushed in open vats and left on skins and stems for five days. Gentle pressing with a traditional basket press. Spontaneous fermentation without additions. Fifteen months of ageing in old barriques. Lees contact is deliberately restrained to avoid amplifying the natural richness of Pinot Gris.
A precise Pinot Gris with a clear line. Juicy, saline, with palpable tension. Not a broad wine. Not an easy one.
