Harvest of fully ripe hand-picked grapes. Cold maceration ('cold soak') for 12 hours, gentle pressing and then cool fermentation in stainless steel – no filtering, fining or any other form of intervention.
Pale straw-yellow, with ripe red apple, pear, apricot, honeydew melon and ripe mango on the nose. Dry on the palate, with fresh, stimulating, well-balanced acidity. Medium, moreish finish with notes of pineapple and melon.
Markus Schneider has a veritable mosaic of terroirs at his disposal. The grapes for his Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) come from various vineyard blocks. Some are found on heavy loam and loess soils out on the valley flats, while others are sourced from red sandstone, clay and limestone terroir at noticeably higher elevations.
