Tasting Notes - There is much complexity to this Pinot Gris. To start you get floral aromas and cooked orchard fruit & roasted nuts on the nose leading into honey at the front of the palate and boiled lemon sweets. These layers then open up to a butteriness and raspberry jelly on toast. Baked salmon fillets would love this wine as would curries made with coconut milk.
Blend - Pinot Gris 100%
Producer - Based in Eguisheim, south of Colmar, Bruno Sorg established the estate in 1970. His son, François now runs the estate, and believes wines are made in the vineyard and that the wine-maker has a duty to work with nature. Yields are kept low and the Sorg style is definitely one of rich fruit, residual sugar and finesse. He has 10 hectares of wonderfully situated vines, half of them in grand crus. Old vines and sandstone soil give great concentration and flavour. This great vineyard is planted with Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris and the fruit was used for the first time in 2004. In 2004 François Sorg built a temperature controlled winery just outside the village.
