Freyburg Saale Unstrut Pinot Gris dry

A Pinot Gris from Germany's northernmost wine-growing region – the Saale-Unstrut region around Freyburg, which, thanks to its continental climate and limestone soils, produces white wines with a clear structure and lively acidity.

The Freyburg-Unstrut winegrowers' association is one of the leading wineries in the region. Cellar master Hans-Albrecht Zieger is responsible for both vineyard work and cellar production – the Pinot Gris comes from the Schloss Neuenburg vineyard, one of the most historically significant sites on the Saale and Unstrut rivers.

In the glass, it displays a clear golden yellow. The nose offers aromas of ripe pear, a touch of quince, and a hint of white pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a dry, quickly fading finish – uncomplicated and very drinkable.
