Pinot Gris

A Pinot Gris that shows what the loess soils of the Kraichgau region are capable of: juicy fruit, lively acidity and an unusual aromatic complexity.

The Klumpp winery from Bruchsal-Heidelsheim is one of the most reliable producers in the Baden Kraichgau region. The family has cultivated their vineyards for generations; the loamy-calcareous loess soils of the region give the white wines structure and the typical creamy texture for which Kraichgau Pinot Gris is known.

In the glass, the wine displays a bright golden yellow. The nose is clear and inviting: a hint of smoke, some nuttiness, delicate herbal notes, and a core of yellow fruit flavors from ripe pear and mirabelle plum with a mineral undertone. On the palate, juicy, slightly sweet fruit, floral nuances, and herbal freshness lend the wine vibrancy. The acidity is present but not harsh. The finish is lingering, with a symphony of fruity sweetness, chalky minerality, and a touch of nuttiness.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Goes well with pasta with cream sauce, fried pike-perch, mild goat cheese or a summery tarte flambée with crème fraîche and bacon.
