Description
Sophie Schaal Pinot Gris is an organic white wine from Alsace, made by Burgundy-born winemaker Sophie Schaal in Hunawihr. Produced from hand-harvested grapes grown on clay-limestone soils, it is carefully whole-bunch pressed and gently fermented to in French oak barrels. The result is a fuller-style Pinot Gris with structure and subtle spice, making it a versatile food wine.
Serve lightly chilled and pair with roast pork or creamy pasta dishes. Winemaker Sophie Schaal also suggests trying it with jamón or an aged gouda.
Tasting Note
Dry but with a rounded textured mouthfeel beautifully balanced by a fine acidic backbone. The palate combines freshly picked green apples, pears and quinces with exotic spicy undertones and a subtle, lightly wooded character that enhances the wine’s complexity, bringing finesse to the smooth, lingering finish.
