Wine information
The outstanding qualitative position of this wine results from a soil of marl and some sandstone elements, giving it an attractive freshness in its youth and an impressive smoothness and maturity in its later age.
Color
A shimmering gold, interspersed with copper reflections, breathes an incredible brilliance into this wine.
Aroma
This 2019 Pinot Gris Stallion enchants with its seductive scent of ripe peach, quince, dried apricots and the sweet aroma of acacia flowers. This beguiling fruity note is harmoniously rounded off and accentuated by honey, sesame and candied ginger.
Taste
On the palate, the wine unfolds powerfully and richly with a subtle spiciness, intense fruitiness and lush sweetness. The mineral facet, paired with a subtle acidity and a salty touch, give it an impressive structure and depth. A long runner with a still hidden potential for maturity. An authentic touch of Alsace!
Alternative food recommendations
Foie gras with Pinot Gris jelly on fresh brioche offers the perfect culinary treat. A spicy lamb curry with roasted almonds and sultanas served on basmati rice could be an equally colourful addition. For cheese lovers - try the Munster cheese in filo pastry with a hint of honey glaze, accompanied by a fresh quince and apple compote.

Alsatian wine
Alsace is a unique wine region in North Eastern France, bordering Germany and having also been under German control for much of its existence. Due to this influence, unlike other French regions, wines from Alsace are mostly single varietal bottlings and are also labelled with the variety. They also are legally required to use a tall slimmer bottle called flûtes d'Alsace, that is also commonly seen with German wines.
Almost all the wine produced in the region is white (90%) except for Pinot Noir which is used mainly for sparkling wine. Alsace is most known for its Riesling, which is dry, fresh and floral in its youth but develops complex mineral and flint character with age. Following behind is Gewurztraminer with signature spice and beautiful lychee aromatics. The smell of this wine is intoxicating, it is used to make dry but also late harvest dessert wines. Pinot Gris is also a prized variety of the region with its combination of crisp acidity and savory spice as well as ripe stone fruit flavours.
In Autumn humidity builds up to facilitate the development of “noble rot” to produce late-picked sweet wines. In Alsace there are two classifications for late harvest wines: Vendange Tardive (VT) and Sélection de Grains Nobles (SGN). VT for regular late harvest wines and SGN meaning grapes affected by noble rot.
Other varieties grown here include Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Auxerrois, Chasselas and Sylvaner.
