Description of the wine Pinot Gris Herrenweg de Turckheim 1997
This wine is originating directly from our vineyards next to the cellar. This wine has the characteristics from this warm and precocious vineyard. The grapes were partially affected by noble rot, allowing them to reach a high level of ripeness and giving the wine a strong structure. Plenty of flavours, much less austere than the 1996.

The wines from Herrenweg are accessible and generous in their youth and although they are often best enjoyed at this stage can surprise 10 or even 20 years later.
