Bergkloster - Pinot Gris2 2020
A textured, characterful Grauburgunder that balances reduction and gentle oxidation with remarkable finesse. The nose opens with nuanced reduction and a beautiful oxidative tone — toasted almonds, hazelnut, and a creamy, almost Comté-like depth that recalls a lightly topped-up Jura white. Beneath it all runs a flinty, limestone-driven minerality. On the palate, it is layered and savoury yet vibrant, finishing with clarity and lift. Complex without heaviness, this is Pinot Gris with tension, salt and quiet confidence.

Sourced from a single plot in Bechtheim, planted around 15 years ago. Hand-harvested and fermented on skins before pressing into large, old oak barrels. Aged for approximately nine months, then blended at bottling. Unfiltered, unfined, and bottled without additives.
A savoury, mineral Pinot Gris that bridges oxidative depth and crystalline freshness with precision.
