Vinification of the Thomas Hensel Aufwind Pinot Gris This elegant white wine from Germany is made from the Pinot Gris grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Palatinate region. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of sand, granite and loess. At the time of optimal ripeness, the grapes for Aufwind Grauer Burgunder are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective full harvesters. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Aufwind Pinot Gris is aged for several months in oak barrels. Food recommendation for the Aufwind Pinot Gris by Thomas Hensel Drink this white wine from Germany ideally well chilled at 8 - 10°C as a companion to coconut-lime fish curry, asparagus salad with quinoa or roasted trout with ginger pear.
