Description of the wine Pinot Gris Vieilles Vignes 1998
Only from our two oldest vineyards in the Herrenweg, this wine was harvested with a high ripeness and some noble rot. After a slow fermentation, it remains slightly sweet, which is classic from this wine. It shows powerful roasted, nutty, almond flavours on the nose and the palate.
The Herrenweg of Turckheim
The wines from Herrenweg of Turckheim are always very aromatic, advanced in their development and are always defined by a very ripe acidity and opulent fruit. The wines from Herrenweg are accessible and generous in their youth and although they are often best enjoyed at this stage can surprise 10 or even 20 years later.
