Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Gentle pressing followed by cultured-yeast fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Maturation without malolactic fermentation, then bottling.
Pale gold. Intense nose of tropical fruit with fine spice. Pronounced interplay between fruit and acidity on the palate. Abundant power and texture, with quince and honey flavours that will bed in increasingly well over time.
The grapes for this Pinot Gris grow in a sheltered, relatively low-lying site overlooking the former Kloster Sion monastery in Klingnau. The soil on this south-south-west-facing incline consists of shell-limestone sediment and Opalinus clay.
