Wunderwerk Pinot Gris 2023

Work in the cellar is as considered as in the vineyard. Gentle handling is central to every step of winemaking at Dreissigacker. The fruit is moved by gravity alone; pumps are consistently avoided so as not to strain the wine. The must is clarified by brief sedimentation, ideal conditions for the natural yeasts and the spontaneous fermentation that follows. Ageing takes place entirely in wood, in new and previously used 500-litre tonneaux. This combination gives the wine fine spice, structure and balance. The Wunderwerk Pinot Gris rests ten months on the full lees and then on the fine lees until bottling. The long time on the lees provides density, roundness and keeping quality: a characterful, layered Pinot Gris marked by elegance, precision and depth. With its elegant and at the same time powerful character, the Wunderwerk Pinot Gris goes excellently with char in lemon sauce and a creamy risotto. Tender green asparagus with poached quail eggs and crisp pumpernickel croutons is another excellent match for this barrel-aged Pinot. Its character, elegant and powerful at once, goes very well with char in lemon sauce and a creamy risotto. Tender green asparagus with poached quail eggs and crisp pumpernickel croutons is equally well suited to the barrel-aged Wunderwerk Pinot Gris.
