This classic dry Alsace Pinot Gris offers a gently aromatic nose of peach and nectarine flesh with cereal grain. The attack is delicate and concise, leading to a nicely fleshed-out and sappy palate. It has exquisite feel, reminiscent of angora wool, with the flavours developing into a smooth balsamic style.
A delicious wine to quench thirst and provoke meditation.

DESCRIPTIONS
xOriginating in Austria, the Blanck family moved to the cultural melting pot that is Alsace centuries ago. It’s getting on for 200 years since this particular branch established a wine business in Kientzheim. Since the mid-1980s, cousins Frédéric and Philippe Blanck have been in control of the organic-certified estate, placing a sharp focus on the vines and the soil they grow in. They farm 24 hectares in total, with grands crus and highly prized lieux-dits accounts for more than two-thirds. Sometimes the brilliance of Alsace – its terroir and the spice, minerals, freshness and sweet fruit it delivers – gets overlooked by the wine-drinking world. There’s little chance of that happening with the Blancks around. “We wish to share with everyone the force and diversity of Alsace; the richness of the grape varieties and the joie de vivre of its people,” they say. And we’re very happy to be the ones to help them share it.
