Schloss Ortenberg 2015 Grauer Burgunder Alte Reben (Baden)
This is a triumphant rendition of a challenging variety. Absolutely fastidious viticulture enabled Matthias to pick fully ripe grapes with exceptional acidity. Fermented and aged in new 300 liter barriques, it is a flamboyantly smoky spice-bomb, luscious in texture yet brimming with vitality. An object lesson in Pinot Gris.
