Wine information
The grapes of the Vorgrimmlers come from the Tuniberg, a Jurassic limestone fault plate that folded up during the formation of the Upper Rhine Graben. On top of the Jurassic limestone lies a layer of loess of varying thickness. The grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed and pressed slowly and gently so that the must and phenols that run off oxidise. The process is also called "browning". The must is then pre-clarified and fermented spontaneously in a stainless steel cuve. The wine remains on the full lees until bottling. Only at bottling do the Vorgrimmlers add minimal amounts of sulphur to the wine, bringing it to between 30 and 40 mg/l total sulphur. The wine is bottled without any additives and without fining, with only very coarse filtration.
Color
medium golden yellow
Nose
On the one hand, this wine is a typical Pinot Gris with notes of crumbly apple, quince, orange, nuts and a hint of melon. natural in the best sense. Notes of malt and yeast, undergrowth and walnut with some tobacco in the background.
Palate
Also on the palate is the Pinot Gris 2021 quite obviously a low-intervention-wineThis wine is approachable and open-hearted and has a lot of substance and juice, fine melting and fine spiciness. Above all, however, a good portion of salt lemon meets ripe pome fruit. In addition, there are notes of undergrowth and earth. A full-bodied, creamy and elegant wine with a great price-pleasure ratio!
