2024 Villa Wolf Pinot Gris

A generously fleshed yet fresh, zingy Pinot Gris.

Villa Wolf is the Pfalz estate of Mosel Riesling legend Ernst Loosen. The Pfalz region is in the Rhine river valley in southwest Germany, directly north of France’s Alsace region. The low-lying Haardt mountains protect the area from cold, wet Atlantic weather, making it one of the warmer and drier areas of Germany.
Brilliant very pale straw almost water like colour with a faint greenish tinge around the outskirts. Pear and red apple aromas lead the way with some musk, hints of honeysuckle and gentle spice ensuing. Generously fleshed pear, apple and musk flavours are underscored by zingy acidity. Delicate honeysuckle and flinty mineral elements are flecked across the back half. Nicely shaped yet racy in it’s feel with a fresh, energised finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
