Wine Description

After vintages 2008, 2011 and 2015, this is our fourth Pinot Gris “R”. It possesses deeper golden colour. Medium intense on the nose. Showing grape variety is not a primary aim of this masculine wine, variety of aroma certainly is. We can sense butter, white flowers, honey, linden flowers, wet stones, juicy yellow fruits, ripe red apples, and orange peels. Gentle notes of vanilla are nicely supplementing the picture and filling up the gaps. Full bodied, rich, intense, but still elegant. Dry, full bodied, still elegant, showing typical acidities of the region. Oily texture and firm texture are adding to the whole picture. Full bodied with intense flavours but still tasty with long finish. Great with food. Less aromatic then 2015, but firmer and livelier. A very individual style of Pinot Gris, Pinot Gris with capital “P”.
