It should be no surprise that the Pinot Noir does as well in the Gips as Riesling. Produced from an equal mix of French and German clones, with 15% whole bunch fermentation, this is a poster-child for the sublime possibilities of German Pinot Noir. With its limpid color and penetrating, fresh nose, the wine dances across the palate like a ballerina, impeccably balanced and finishing spicy and long.
