A very fresh

with Claude Pouizin running the estate through 1996

medium-bodied wine with a firm acid structure lifting the flavors

Here there is enough reduction to mask the nuances of the underlying fruit so I would suggest giving this some air first

Full-bodied and densely packed

Weinbach, Pinot Gris Altenbourg SGN other_regions_australia A very fresh(for 375 ml.; 9. 9% alcohol, 161 g l r. s. and 10 grams of acidity) Deep yellow gold. Carnal, exotic aromas of orange blossom, game, smoke and earth. Superripe, thick and powerful, but given great penetration by almost painful acidity. Wonderfully dense and concentrated wine with a tactile, salty finish that refuses to let up. Like the '07 Riesling SGN, this is just hinting at the complexity to come. Stephen Tanzer
