Description

Product description for Trapet Alsace Pinot Gris Sonnenglanz Grand Cru 2017 (bio)

Christina Hilker: A wonderful combination of juiciness, creaminess, and freshness, permeated by a pointed minerality. The exotic impression is further enhanced on the tongue, and the acidity adds vibrancy. A Pinot Gris that stimulates the flow and pairs perfectly with intensive cuisine!

Information on the location

Just outside the village, in the northwest, at the very edge of the foothills, lies the Sonnenglanz vineyard at an altitude of 220 to 270 meters facing southeast. It enjoys a very favorable microclimate with particularly low rainfall (barely more than 500 mm per year). The soil is fairly homogeneous, consisting only of Tertiary conglomerate of the limestones of the Rhine Graben and interstratified marls from the Eo-Oligocene era, forming a fairly heavy, well-structured, and very stony limestone soil.

Colour

Light golden yellow with green reflections.

Nose

The 2017 Sonnenglanz Pinot Gris Grand Cru is extremely stimulating on the nose, with plenty of fresh fruit reminiscent of citrus, orange, quince, and honeydew melon. The ginger and floral notes are captivating, further underscoring the lively and fresh opening.

Palate

A wonderful combination of juiciness, creaminess, and freshness, interspersed with a pointed minerality. The exotic impression is further enhanced on the tongue, and the acidity adds vibrancy. A Pinot Gris that stimulates the drinking flow and pairs perfectly with intense cuisine!
