Mader Dry Pinot Gris Schlossberg 2020 Mezcal

Mader Dry Pinot Gris Schlossberg 2020 MezcalSchlossberg is a south east facing slope from a steep terraced granite block. It became the first Alsace grand cru in 1975. Maders vineyard is east facing and the highest on the slope from vines over 25 y. o. giving tiny yield. The wine is whole bunch pressed with indigenous fermentation. Aged on lees for 9 months, 1 3 barrel, 2 3 stainless steel. This is an extremely impressive wine and one of the few really dry expressions of Pinot Gris to be found
