2018 Josmeyer Grand Cru Hengst Pinot Gris

The grapes were hand picked and whole-bunch pressed very slowly and gently in pneumatic presses over 5-8 hours to give a clean must and a beneficial amount of skin contact. Transferred to thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks the juice then began a natural fermentation using only its own natural yeast which lasted for one month.

Supple, chewy and surprisingly dry, even a bit youthfully aggressive, with fruit salad flavors currently dominated by brisk acidity. Finishes with a slightly medicinal character that calls for a bit of patience.
