ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2020 Weingut Ziereisen Pinot Gris is a distinctive and complex wine that showcases the unique terroir of Baden, Germany’s warmest wine-growing region. The grapes are sourced from low-yielding vineyards planted on limestone soils, which contribute to the wine’s minerality and depth. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, followed by extended aging on the lees in large oak barrels. This traditional approach enhances the wine’s texture and adds layers of complexity. The result is a Pinot Gris that is both rich and refined, with a balance of fruit, acidity, and minerality that makes it an ideal match for dishes like roasted poultry, creamy pastas, and mushroom-based recipes.
