Brandhof Pinot Gris

Remy Gresser is considered one of the most representative producers of Alsace. The Domaine Gresser is located in Andlau, halfway between Strasbourg and Colmar, on the Alsace wine route, at the foot of Mount Sainte Odile, on hills that are prestigious for the quality of their wines and for their historical importance. The company philosophy is entirely focused on respecting the environment and the vineyard in the wake of the teachings of the ancestors to preserve nature for future generations, trying to implement a work in the vineyard that allows the vineyard itself to “self-heal” through the use of bio-dynamics. According to Gresser, the role of the winemaker consists in allowing the vineyard to regulate itself, facilitating exchanges between the natural elements: the soil, water and habitat, which contribute to the cycle of life.

The Brandhof Pinot Gris Domaine Gresser is a pinot grigio from 40-year-old vines grown on a limestone soil with a South-East exposure. As usual for Domaine Gresser the yield is low and is around 56 hl / ha. The care and attention in preserving nature and the territory in the vineyard have led Gresser to use the principles of bio-dynamics. The grapes are harvested at full physiological maturity and softly pressed to then ferment with indigenous yeasts in steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

The Brandhof Pinot Gris Domaine Gresser is a wine with an interesting wide nose with notes of dried fruit, hints of undergrowth. On the palate it is rocco and balanced with a marked minerality.
