Dry - juicy and harmonious - A Franconian Pinot Gris for savoury dishes

The nonchalant side of the Pinot Gris from the Erste Geige series from the Geiger und Söhne winery is extremely elegant and knows how to impress many a wine connoisseur as a special Franconian wine speciality. For this fine wine, we select only the best grapes of the QbA quality wine level to age them in the traditional 2400 litre double piece barrel to create a unique white wine pleasure. This storage and vinification process gives the white wine a very special refinement that adds an extraordinary touch to the juicy flavour of the Pinot Gris. This is because smoky, earthy notes add a salty, mineral flavour to the full-bodied character of this white wine, creating an unusually complex refreshment.

As a sparkling, full-bodied refreshment with an extract-rich aroma, this Pinot Gris lives up to its name and plays first fiddle both as a solo enjoyment and as an exemplary accompaniment to food. Served well chilled, it surprises with its rich flavour at 13% alcohol by volume and ensures a rounded and elegant enjoyment that leaves a lasting impression.
