In the glass, this young Pinot Gris presents itself in bright lemon yellow with lively green reflections - a visual foretaste of the freshness that will follow.<\/p>\n
The nose is still youthfully closed, characterised by yeasty notes that give the wine depth. With a little patience Apple and almond blossom<\/strong>, accompanied by delicate acacia flavours. Chopped almonds and creamy butterscotch are reminiscent of fresh yeast plait. The fruit remains discreetly in the background: Pear, quince and apple<\/strong> are joined by subtle nuances of lime zest and candied ginger. Herbal notes of nettle, lemon balm and chervil provide invigorating freshness.<\/p>\n This Pinot Gris shows its true strength on the palate: crisp, animating and refreshing. The interplay between tart and acidic is reminiscent of chewing red apple peel<\/strong> - a precise description for this characterful texture. The herbal flavours return discreetly and enliven the palate. The fine tannin, which gives the wine structure, is remarkable - unusually pronounced for a Pinot Gris. The astringent acidity is lively and juicy, almost drinkable. The floral notes dominate the long finish.<\/p>\n From the renowned K\u00fchling-Gillot winery in Rheinhessen, this 2024 Pinot Gris represents a modern, structure-emphasising style. At 12.5% alcohol, it remains elegant and accessible, while the dry ageing method emphasises the purity of the fruit and the mineral character of the terroir.<\/p>\n This lively Pinot Gris is a versatile accompaniment to food. It harmonises excellently with fried char<\/strong>, Pikeperch on lentils<\/strong> or Plaice Finkenwerder type<\/strong>. Also to Asparagus with hollandaise sauce<\/strong>, Goat's cheese tart<\/strong> or roasted sweetbreads<\/strong> it shows itself from its best side. The herbal notes make it the ideal partner for Fresh salads with nuts<\/strong> or Fennel risotto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This Pinot Gris breaks with convention: Instead of broad fruitiness, K\u00fchling-Gillot favours structure, tension and drinkability. A wine that needs time to open up, but then convinces with precision and character - typical of this ambitious winery.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Palate<\/h3>\n
