Grauburgunder RÉSERVE trocken - Weingut Manz

Grauburgunder RÉSERVE trocken - Weingut ManzThe barrel-aged Pinot Gris RÉSERVE from the winegrowing region of Rheinhessen presents itself in the glass in bright copper gold. If you give it some air by swirling, you can perceive a first-class balance in this white wine, as it does not stand out on the glass walls in a watery, syrupy or liqueur-like way. This single varietal German wine flatters the glass with wonderfully expressive notes of quince, apples, pears and nashi pear. It is joined by hints of lovage, cinnamon and cocoa bean. This white wine from Weingut Manz is a good choice for all connoisseurs who like as little residual sugar as possible in their wine. At the same time, however, it never shows itself to be meager or brittle, as one might naturally expect in a premium and site wine segment. On the tongue, this balanced white wine is characterized by an incredibly creamy texture. Due to its vital fruit acidity, the Pinot Gris RÉSERVE is fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this white wine from the wine-growing region of Rheinhessen finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of Nashi pear and quince. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by marl and limestone are added. Vinification of the Pinot Gris RÉSERVE from Manz Winery This white wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, Pinot Gris. Only immaculate grape material was harvested for this wonderfully balanced single-varietal wine from Weingut Manz. In Rheinhessen, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of limestone and marl. The fact that the Grauburgunder grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate also has a very high influence on the development of the vintage. This manifests itself, among other things, in particularly long and uniform grapes and rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. After manual harvesting, the grapes reach the winery by the fastest route. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. This is followed by fermentation in small wood at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by aging for several months in 500 l oak barrels. Food recommendation for the Pinot Gris RÉSERVE from Manz Winery Enjoy this white wine from Germany ideally well chilled at 8 - 10°C as a companion to lemon chili chicken with bulgur, coconut-lime fish curry or Thai cucumber salad.
