Pinot Gris Ried Gola 2017

Wine description:

Ripe fruit, complex, minerally, rich in finesse—a refined Burgundy style wine with lots of potential

Location:

Gola: The name is of Slavian origin, meaning „naked“, which refers to the meagre slate soil. It is one of our hottest sites, producing profound wines with plenty of stuffing. Because of their slaty minerality, they stand out above all for their unique finesse, which makes them keep their elegance despite their high ripeness.
