Wolfberger Pinot Gris Grand Cru Pfingstberg

From the Grand Cru Pfingstberg in Orschwihr – one of the noblest sites in Alsace – comes this Pinot Gris from the Wolfberger cooperative, which has united Alsatian winemakers since 1902 and is today one of the defining houses of the region.

In the glass, aromas of gingerbread, candied quince, and ripe mirabelle plums unfold, underpinned by a fine hint of cinnamon and some ginger. On the palate, the Pfingstberg-typical body shows: full-bodied, with a velvety texture that keeps fullness and freshness in balance. The finish is long and silky – a sign of the potential of this site made of calcareous loess soil with a volcanic subsoil. The MundusVini Gold Medal 2022 for the 2018 vintage confirms the quality of this cuvée.

Drinking recommendation: Served well at 10–12 °C. Pairs with foie gras, Munster with caraway, a hearty Alsatian tarte flambée, or braised pork belly with apples.
