Königschaffhausen-Kiechlinsbergen volcanic rocks Pinot Gris
Pinot Gris from the Kaiserstuhl is already a reliable address in itself – but the volcanic rock of the Königschaffhausen-Kiechlinsbergen winegrowers' cooperative adds another layer: more depth, more palate, more pull.
The cooperative cultivates the volcanic weathered soils around Königschaffhausen and Kiechlinsbergen in the northern Kaiserstuhl region – one of the warmest and driest areas in Germany. The mineral-rich volcanic soil gives the Pinot Gris its characteristic intensity, which lighter sandy soils cannot provide.
In the glass, it displays ripe nectarine and yellow apple, along with a subtle nutty note suggesting brief contact with oak or natural oxidation during aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with a rounded volume and a length that is remarkable for an entry-level wine from this vineyard. The acidity keeps everything fresh and prevents the wine from seeming too heavy.
