Weinbach Pinot Gris Altenbourg
Intense and deep nose of honey, raisins and figs with smoky and buttery notes. Wonderful concentration on the palate with candied apricots and caramelised butter flavours. Pure and powerful character and great balance between alcohol, sugar and acidity. Superb and pure finish.
