Wunderwerk Pinot Gris Magnum 2022

The same care taken in the vineyard is also applied during the winemaking process in the cellar. As is customary at Dreissigacker, gentle handling throughout all stages of winemaking is of utmost priority. The precious grape material for the Wunderwerk Grauburgunder is transported exclusively by gravity, that is, with the help of natural fall pressure. We deliberately avoid using pumps, as they would unnecessarily stress our wines. Furthermore, we do not use any treatment agents during the entire processing. To create optimal conditions for the natural yeasts and the subsequent spontaneous fermentation, the must is pre-clarified by short sedimentation. This preserves the natural yeast flora. The Grauburgunder is aged 100% in Tonneau oak barrels. We use both new and repeatedly filled 500-liter Tonneau barrels. The varying use ensures a rounded roast aroma and helps the wine achieve a special harmony. Furthermore, wines aged in wood benefit from long storage – and so does the Wunderwerk Grauburgunder. The Grauburgunder rests on its full lees for approximately 9 months, then on its fine lees until bottling. Through aging in wood and long yeast contact, the wine develops optimally and harmoniously and is particularly age-worthy. 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.
