🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with a soft golden hue. Bright and refined, hinting at both freshness and textural richness.

👃 Aromas
Lifted and expressive, showing freshly cut nashi pear and green apple with subtle floral notes. Hints of spice and gentle nuttiness add complexity from oak and lees ageing.

👅 Palate
Rich and plush, delivering juicy pear, apple and white peach layered with savoury spice and a touch of citrus. The palate shows depth and generosity, balanced by freshness and precision.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Silky and textural with a creamy mid-palate from malolactic fermentation and lees work. The finish is long, dry and elegant, with lingering fruit, spice and a subtle mineral edge.

🍇 Overall Style
A modern, Alsace-inspired Pinot Gris—full-flavoured, textural and complex. Combines richness and oak influence with freshness and balance, offering a more serious, food-driven style of Gris.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast pork, creamy pasta, roast chicken or dishes featuring mushrooms and nuts. Also excellent with richer seafood or vegetarian dishes.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A premium, textural Pinot Gris—rich, layered and seriously impressive. A standout for mixed dozens when you want something with weight, complexity and real point of difference.
