Domaine Barmés Buecher Pinot Gris ‘Rosenberg’ AOC Alsace 2019

$69.00 inc. GST

“Bright light straw colour with a copper hue. Discreet young fruit, plum, pear, honey and a mild spiciness. The palate remains bone dry with a crisp acidity,
ripe fruit flavours, yellow plum and pepper notes leading to a long and crisp finish”. Andreas Larsson – Best Sommelier of the World

 

With its assertive character, the Pinot Gris Rosenberg 2019 is the perfect accompaniment to simple dishes such as terrines, pan-fried mushrooms or risottos with ceps, as well as more elaborate dishes such as game or a tagine with prunes. And if you find yourself with a glass left over after the main dish, enjoy it with some Comté, Beaufort or Gruyère cheese.

Not only is this Alsace pinot gris properly dry, it has wonderful freshness and clarity. which make it a winner. And behind this is very pronounced, chalky minerality that provides excellent grip at the long, crisp finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Not an overt style, as will scare many away from Alsace, or perhaps draw you in.
Peach and pear scents, cinnamon spice, some wet hay whiffs and oatmeal too. Rich and slippery in the palate but has a fresh and crisp mid palate and finish, it delivers the overtness and washes it away with a flourish. If you’re hankering for a classic, this does the balance agenda of the variety well.
