Pinot Gris, “Schlossberg Grand Cru”

The Schoech brothers acquired a small parcel of quarter-century-old Pinot Gris vines on the terraced, south-facing slopes of the fabled Grand Cru Schlossberg in Kientzheim. The granite-based soils give a “vertical acidity” to the resulting wine, fresh and rich on the palate with vibrant stone fruit. Raised in stainless steel with relatively low residual sugar of 10-15g/l.
