Sourced from 38-year-old vines in Hunawihr, this wine combines the richness of clay soils with a hint of limestone to impart depth, texture, and a long finish. Known for its precision, the 2023 vintage is the driest expression of Pinot Gris the estate has produced, yet it retains its characteristic roundness and supple mouthfeel. The balance of ripe fruit, freshness, and subtle residual sweetness creates a wine with immediate appeal that will continue to evolve with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this wine are hand-harvested and undergo a careful fermentation process. 25% of the wine is aged on fine lees for seven months in neutral oak, while the remaining 75% is fermented in stainless steel with 20% undergoing malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity. This combination of techniques ensures the wine maintains both its fresh vibrancy and its complex, textured mouthfeel. The result is a Pinot Gris with aromatic lift and depth, featuring smoky peach, apple, and exotic tropical fruit notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, white meats like roasted chicken, and dishes featuring earthy vegetables such as cauliflower. It is also an excellent complement to soft cheeses and mild curries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e - Pinot Gris\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e - France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e - Alsace\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExtra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Screwcap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"#pro_more_desc\" id=\"more_desc_btn\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003eThe Mader domaine is a very small quantity, high quality wine producer based in the picture postcard village of Hunawihr in the middle of vineyards on the Route des Vins.
