Tasting Notes
This Pinot Gris displays a golden yellow hue with luminous reflections, indicative of its youth and vibrancy. The nose is expressive and layered, revealing candied aromas of quince, Mirabelle plum, and honey. Upon aeration, additional notes of orange blossom, orgeat syrup, butter, and pastries emerge, complemented by a subtle smoky nuance and a touch of mushroom. This aromatic complexity speaks to the grape's perfect ripeness and the Spiegel terroir's unique character. On the palate, the wine opens with a dense, mellow attack, balanced by incisive freshness and a delicate effervescence. The flavour profile mirrors the nose, featuring golden apple, quince, Mirabelle plum, orange blossom, sweet almond, and honey. A fine bitterness and a smoky undertone add structure and intrigue. The finish is long and vivacious, marked by persistent bitters and a complete, harmonious balance that highlights the wine’s vertical elegance.
