Description

Product description for Franz Keller Schlossberg Achkarren Grauburgunder GG 2022

Wine Information

This wine comes from the heart of the Achkarr Schlossberg vineyard. It is a warm, historically significant steep slope with calcareous volcanic rock. It was fermented spontaneously to 0 grams of residual sugar. It was aged for 12 months in a large 2,000-liter wooden barrel and six months in a steel tank, each time on the full lees.

Colour

Light golden yellow

Nose

The nose of this Großes Gewächs is reminiscent of a ripe fruit basket with notes of white peach, pears, apples, and lemons. There is also a nuance of flint and graphite, along with nutty notes and herbs, a hint of Galia melon, and a trace of wood.

Palate

On the palate, this is a straightforward, fully fermented wine that, despite the warmth of the vineyard, appears fresh and racy, conveying lively acidity and plenty of energy. The volcanic soil provides an exciting minerality, while the long aging on the full lees adds volume and depth. At the same time, the Pinot Gris remains precise, polished, and elegant. A true and rare cru of this grape variety.
