Freiherr von Gleichenstein 2016 Grauer Burgunder Hofgarten trocken
Johannes made impressive Pinot Gris wines in 2016, starting with this exemplary “entry level” version. With
20% aged in old wooden casks, it is pushes all the necessary buttons. Limpid and spicy, it has good texture and
sprightly acidity – the feature so often missing in Alsatian examples.

Notes from the Producer: The grapes for the gray burgundy are filled directly in front of the conveyor belts without destroying and crushing in the press. Due to the long press time of 6 to 8 hours. After the must clarification by sedimentation parts of the musts are spontaneously fermented. The wines remain in the wine yeast over a period of 3-5 months to achieve a harmony of the wine structure.
