Oberrotweiler Henkenberg Pinot Gris Qualitätswein trocken

Pinot Gris from the Oberrotweiler Henkenberg – one of the best sites on the Kaiserstuhl, where volcanic weathered soil gives the wines their characteristic bite and mineral depth.

The Landerer winery from Vogtsburg-Oberrotweil is one of the most reliable wineries in the Kaiserstuhl region. The family cultivates the typical strengths of the area: wines with substance that are far removed from merely pleasing softness.

On the nose, this Pinot Gris reveals pear and roasted almond, along with herbs and a hint of tree bark. On the palate, fresh apple, ripe pear, and a light, buttery texture unfold – supported by a firm body with a distinct backbone. The minerality is not merely decorative, but rather provides structure. The finish is long, with tart stone fruit notes, bark, and a lingering aroma of toast. Slightly astringent and dry – not a wine to be sipped casually.

Recommendation: Pairs well with veal schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce, pan-fried trout with an almond crust, or strong mountain cheese. Serving temperature 11–13 °C. Brief decanting is recommended.
