What to Expect

Pinot Grigio is one of the world's most popular wines. Also known under the French moniker "Pinot Gris", and even the German "Ruländer" among others, Pinot Grigio is a chameleon of a grape. It is produced in a range of styles, from the light fruity Italian style that has gained popularity, to a more mineral, flinty rich wine favored by the French - particularly in Alsace - and emulated by many in the new world.

Winemakers Notes

Brown spiced apple and peach in the nose of the 2005 Pinot Gris Zellberg leadto a palate that nicely incorporates fresh fruit into its rich, chalky, oily,lush palate. Smokiness - and a bit of heat from the wine's nearly15% alcohol -emerge in the finish.
Andre Ostertag continues to render some of the most distinctively delicious andthought-provoking wines in Alsace. He now has 120 parcels among his 35 acres,and no grower of my acquaintance gives more thought to aesthetic and stylisticconsiderations when it comes to vinifying and assembling his many lots.

Great full flavoured wine. Really loved it. Nothing like I have tasted before. This white wine has balls! Not easy to combine food with.
