WOLFBERGER 2022 - Pinot Gris - Alsace - France
WOLFBERGER - Pinot Gris - Alsace - France
With its gold yellow colour, this Pinot Gris develops a refine and empyreumatic nose (nuts, almond and roasted notes) and aromas of yellow fruit. On the palate it is elegant, whilst generous and in total harmony with the aromas. This Pinot Gris pairs well with richly flavoured dishes: game, veal, pork and poultry, particularly when served with rich sauces, fillet of duck with balsamic vinegar, and also great with comté cheese or yellow fruit desserts. This wine can also enjoyed on its own and makes an ideal aperitif! The Signature is a range of wines selected each year by our partner chefs, sommeliers and cavistes. An extremely versatile and gastronomic range of wines which is represented by the traditional grape varities from Alsace. Vintage in image may vary. Refer to wine facts for current vintage.

Vineyard Info
The history of Wolfberger begins over a century ago. In 1902, winegrowers in the village of Eguisheim decided to join forces to create one of the first cooperatives in Alsace. United as one, pioneers in their field, they are continually innovating in order to ensure the development of the cellar and to preserve the typicity and quality of their wines. They were among the first to launch the AOC Alsace Crémant under the name crowning their success: Wolfberger. Today Wolfberger is a major player in the Alsace wine landscape, in France and around the world. Alsace wines are produced using the seven varietals of the Alsace AOC terroir: Sylvaner, Riesling, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir. Each varietal gives a different wine, ranging from dry whites to spicy, fruity whites to fruity red wines with low tannin content.

The tracking, verifying and setting up of production rules, along with good growing practices, are an essential pillar of quality for Wolfberger wines. Technicians in the Wolfberger vineyards watch over quality optimization of 13,000 parcels, assuring traceability of all the grapes that are delivered during the harvest. To do this, each parcel is identified and indexed on an intranet file (varietal, planting date, grafting, etc) with tracking in real time of all the operations done by the winegrower (pruning, flowering, treatment, trellising, thinning out the leaves) and verification of the means used. This in-depth verification and tracking assures, at the base, optimal potential of the parcels.
