Thanks to its lively fruit acidity, Widder Pinot Gris is exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. On the finish, this wine from the Palatinate wine-growing region, which can be stored well, finally impresses with its exceptional length. Once again, there are hints of honeydew melon and orange jam. Mineral notes from the loess and clay-dominated soil are added to the finish. Vinification of the Widder Pinot Gris from Weingut Hörner This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Pinot Gris. Only first-class grapes were harvested for this exceptionally powerful single-varietal wine from Weingut Hörner. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Palatinate. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into loam and loess soils. The grapes for this white wine from Germany are harvested exclusively by hand when they are perfectly ripe. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small wooden vats at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the powerful Widder Pinot Gris is aged for several months in French oak barrels.
