Heger Pinot Gris Sonnet Dry

The Grauburgunder Sonett from Dr. Heger shows what Baden can do with this grape variety: an approachable, dry white wine with clear fruit and pleasant substance.

Dr. Heger Winery is located in Ihringen am Kaiserstuhl – a region of volcanic rock, abundant warmth, and a long growing season. The winery is one of Baden's most renowned producers, vinifying Pinot Gris in various quality levels. The Sonett is their entry-level wine, but by no means a compromise.

On the nose, apple, apricot, and pear, with a hint of almond and yellow blossoms. Medium-bodied on the palate, rounded acidity, dry finish without any harshness. Not a complex long-distance runner, but that's precisely what it's not meant to be.

Serving suggestion: Drink now, at 10–12 °C. Pairs well with asparagus with hollandaise sauce, fried pike-perch, tarte flambée or a summer antipasti platter.
