2015 | Cave de Ribeauville | Pinot Gris Gloeckelberg

A powerful nose with dried and crystalised fruits aromas for this Pinot Gris Grand Cru Gloeckelberg. The wine has a soft and well-structured mouth, round at first with a good balance coming from its mature acidity that is a sign of its noble origin.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Ripe russet pear immediately becomes apparent on the nose of this wine, tempered by a concentrated, zesty note. Smooth, ripe pear notes are enhanced by the medium-dry style while that russet-pear-peel texture lends structure. Hints of baking spice, nutmeg and vanilla appear, making this rich and rounded wine mellow but fresh.

Producer Information

The Cave de Ribeauvillé covers a single vineyard of 580 acres with 8 Grands Crus and many soils of great value. The total surface is managed by a quality chart which guarantees strict control of the yields, sustainable growth of the vineyards or even organic farming, and… manual harvest. This choice for quality allows sorting of the best grapes that are transported in small elevator-wagons to the presses, without any pumping or handling. The juices then simply flow into the vats by the force of gravity. This method, unique in Alsace, enables all of the aromatic virtues of each varietal to be conserved. The wines express all the richness and diversity of the Alsatian soils. They are pure, straight and frank, with nice freshness and aromatic intensity.
