A pinot gris that refuses the easy path. Where the variety tends towards weight and sugar, this one is dry, taut, mineral. Ageing in old barrels — with no new-oak flavour — gives it texture without weighing it down. The Silberberg, “the silver mountain”, does the rest.
Tasting.
- Appearance
- Pale gold, dense.
- Nose
- Ripe pear, fresh hazelnut, a discreet smokiness and gunflint.
- Palate
- Broad without being heavy, carried by juicy acidity. Long saline, almost iodine finish.
Food pairings.
- Sweetbreads, poultry in cream
- Fine fish — turbot, John Dory
- Mushrooms, morels, risotto
- Young Munster
