Grauburgunder trocken - Schwedhelm Zellertal

Grauburgunder trocken - Schwedhelm ZellertalWith the Weingut Schwedhelm Pinot Gris comes a first-class white wine into the swirled glass. In this it shows a wonderfully brilliant, copper-gold color. This single-varietal German wine reveals wonderfully expressive notes of pear, apple, quince and nashi pear in the glass. These are joined by hints of roasted almond, whole nut chocolate and walnut. This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 6.7 grams of residual sugar. This is a real quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this German wine enchants naturally with all dryness with the finest balance. Taste does not necessarily need a lot of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this light-footed white wine is wonderfully light and crisp. Due to its concise fruit acidity, the Pinot Gris reveals itself wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this white wine from the wine-growing region of Palatinate finally inspires with good length. There are again hints of nashi pear and quince. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by limestone and clay join in. Vinification of the Pinot Gris from Weingut Schwedhelm This elegant Pinot Gris from Germany is a single-varietal wine made from the Pinot Gris grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Palatinate region. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of limestone and clay. When they are perfectly ripe, the grapes for Pinot Gris are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective machines. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the Pinot Gris can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 4 months. Food recommendation for the Pinot Gris from Weingut Schwedhelm Drink this white wine from Germany best well chilled at 8 - 10°C as an accompanying wine to fruity endive salad, cabbage roulades or pasta with sausage dumplings.
