Description

Product description for Franz Keller Oberbergener Bassgeige Grauburgunder VDP Erste Lage 2022

Info

The Bassgeige in Oberbergen is the perfect location. Loess is predominantly found on volcanic rock, as well as some basalt. The parcel spectrum ranges from high, cool parts of the Bassgeige to south-facing areas in the flatter parts near the village. The balance between these two worlds is a desirable goal. Large wooden barrels are used, as well as small quantities in steel tanks.

Colour

Bright straw yellow with a slight tendency towards orange and light reflections.

Nose

A very inviting and deep aroma fills the entire space of the glass. The light fruits lead the way: candied quince, juicy pear, peach, and a hint of pineapple. Behind the fruit, a very yeasty note emerges, reminiscent of both warm brioche and a covered cake with warm apple. A breeze of cinnamon and clove mingles with it. White blossoms are now slowly spreading. Almond, apple, but also jasmine and orchid offer a spectrum of floral, elegant accents. A multitude of native garden herbs follow directly behind them.

Palate

It flows skillfully and confidently across the palate. A Pinot Gris with great sophistication. It is completely at peace with itself. The fruit is by no means intrusive, but clearly recognizable. A delicate melt flatters the fruit of this otherwise very dry wine. The yeasty component of the nose is also very noticeable on the palate. A subtle bitter note adds accents and ensures plenty of variety. This interplay of fruit and tart notes is totally stimulating. At the end, it shines with a pure, salty finish of enormous length.
