Oberrotweil Pinot Gris 2022
Oberrotweil Pinot Gris
Oberrotweil Pinot Gris
Damp Flint & Ripe Pear
In the glass, the wine presents itself with a rich, reddish-gold shimmer – almost like liquid autumn light. The color already suggests that this is not a lean patio wine, but a Pinot Gris with substance, character, and a slight impression of maturity. Unfiltered depth, very clear at its core.
The nose is dominated by a fine mix of ripe pear, apple peel, and green tea – like a fruit bowl on a stone slab. Herbal hints of savory and a touch of gooseberry are added, underpinned by delicate smoke, damp flint, and a hint of vanilla and brioche.
On the palate, it's surprisingly textured—creamy yet with a salty edge. The fruit is present but never boisterous: yellow apple, a hint of lemon, a trace of peach. The acidity has grip without becoming sharp. A fine phenolic structure runs through, providing a subtly tart finish. 4. Special features: aging, cultivation & vinification.
A village wine that tastes like a single-vineyard wine: matured for two years in large wooden barrels on its full lees, spontaneously fermented, minimally fined. The vines grow in volcanic weathered soil with a loess overlay – you can taste it: tension, spice, salinity. Not a show-off, but a wine with backbone and character.
