Pinot Gris, Grand Cru Vorbourg, Château de Riquewihr, Dopff & Irion, Alsace, France 2012
100% Pinot Gris. Hand-picked and on lees for 4 months.
This sweet white wine has a deep golden colour. With complex and intense aromas including fruit jelly, pineapple, spices like cumin, a hint of smoked almond. The palate is intense and flavorsome with flavours of fruity apricot jam, mandarin liqueur, honey and long peppery-spicy finish.
This heady wine can be substituted for a red wine with cold meat, country pâté, roast meat (roast ham with spices, roast pork with prunes wrapped in bacon), game and poultry. A sumptuous companion for foie gras and quince jelly.
