Friedrich Becker Pinot Gris »Kalkmergel« 0.75L

The »Kalkmergel« from Friedrich Becker shows what Pinot Gris from the Palatinate can achieve when soil and craft come together: a dry white wine with real substance that goes far beyond the everyday.

The Friedrich Becker winery is one of the most renowned addresses in the southern growing region, known for precise white wines with a clear reference to their origin. The name »Kalkmergel« refers directly to the subsoil — lime-rich marl soil, which gives the Pinot Gris a striking mineral imprint and supports the acidity without the wine losing its fullness.

In the glass, it shows aromas of garden pear and pomegranate, underpinned by a subtle oak tone and a fine mineral note. The palate is juicy, with pleasant freshness and a structure that carries the wine in the mouth — not a heavyweight, but with length and backbone.

On the table, it goes particularly well with veal schnitzel, chicken with lemon sauce, or a light coconut curry. It also works excellently with salmon or roasted vegetables. Drinking temperature: 10–12 °C.
