The 2024 Domaine Mader Pinot Gris is a dry and generously textured Alsace white produced from organically farmed vines in Hunawihr. It opens with aromas of nashi pear, quince and yellow peach, followed by honeysuckle, ginger, poached apple and the delicate smoky character traditionally associated with Alsace Pinot Gris.
On the palate, it is rounded and almost waxy in texture, with ripe pear, apple and dried-apricot flavours balanced by fresh acidity. Subtle white pepper, smoke and a savoury mineral note add complexity, while a gentle phenolic bitterness keeps the finish dry, clean and appetising.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a richer, more gastronomic alternative to light Italian Pinot Grigio. Serve at 10–12°C and enjoy now or cellar until around 2031 for additional honeyed and toasted complexity. Ideal with roast pork, mushroom risotto, smoked trout, roast chicken, mild curry, duck terrine or washed-rind cheese.
