Description of the wine Pinot Gris Herrenweg de Turckheim 1999
Although this vineyard is still very young (8 years old), this wine shows all the quality and potential of the Herrenweg: aromatic and precocious in style. Harvested very early, with some noble rot, it already has a deep golden colour and a nose which shows very definitely a ripe, pinot-gris character: white fruits, quince, honey. The quality of this wine lies in its expressive fruit and powerful, well balanced palate. It is drinking well now but will certainly develop nicely during the next 5-10 years.
