A rich and expressive Pinot Gris from the celebrated Grand Cru Hengst, produced by Domaine Viticole de Colmar under its Signature de Colmar label. The Hengst vineyard is renowned for its sun-exposed slopes and mineral soils, delivering wines of exceptional depth and concentration. This Pinot Gris embodies the opulence and freshness for which Alsace is famous, combining richness with refined balance.
Tasting Notes:
Golden in colour with subtle brilliance, the nose reveals exotic notes of candied fruit, ripe pear and gentle spice. On the palate it is full bodied and luxurious yet never heavy, with layers of fruit supported by vibrant freshness. The finish is long and satisfying, marked by mineral precision and elegant persistence. Although opulent, the wine retains a dry profile that enhances its versatility with food.
Winemaking:
Grapes from the Hengst Grand Cru site are carefully selected and vinified to emphasise varietal purity and terroir expression. Fermentation in temperature-controlled vessels preserves aromatic complexity, while time on lees adds subtle texture and depth. Minimal intervention ensures the character of the vineyard shines through in the finished wine.
Food Pairing:
An outstanding match for rich shellfish, creamy poultry dishes and white sauces. It also pairs beautifully with mature cheeses and dishes featuring mushrooms or truffles.
ABV: 14%
