Weinbach Alsace Clos des Capucins Pinot Gris 2021

Biodynamic. Dry. Drawn from old vines in the Clos des Capucins, it doesn’t feel right to call this delicious wine Weinbach’s entry-level Gris. Whole bunch pressed, fermented dry and raised for 10 months in large oak ovals, it’s a pure, layered and mouth-watering Pinot Gris, with taut acidity creating a lively frame for the flavours of nectarine, juicy pear, almond skin and spicy minerals. It tastes terrific on its own but had us dreaming of pan-fried halibut and the Asian-influenced dishes that Weinbach aromatics pair so well with.
