Oberrotweiler Henkenberg Grauburgunder trocken - Landerer

The Oberrotweiler Henkenberg Pinot Gris from Landerer in Baden presents a bright, copper-gold color in the swirled glass. After the first swirl, one can perceive a perfect balance in this white wine, as it stands out on the glass walls neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like. The first nose of the Oberrotweiler Henkenberg Pinot Gris flatters with notes of quince, apples and pears. The fruity hints of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel aging such as brittle, sun-warmed rock and garrigue.

This white wine from Landerer is ideal for those who like it dry. However, it is never dry or brittle, as one would expect from a wine in this price range.

In the finish, this white wine from the wine-growing region of Baden, which can be stored well, finally inspires with beautiful length. Once again, hints of apple and quince appear.

Vinification of the Oberrotweiler Henkenberg Pinot Gris from Landerer

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, and that is Pinot Gris. Only impeccable grape material was harvested for this wonderfully balanced single varietal wine from Landerer. Without question, Oberrotweiler Henkenberg Pinot Gris is also defined by more than just Oberrotweil's soil. This German wine can literally be described as an Old World wine that presents itself in an extraordinarily impressive manner. The ripening of the grapes for this Pinot Gris wine is influenced to an undeniable extent by the climate of the growing region. In Baden, the grapes thrive in a rather cool climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly long and evenly ripened grapes and rather moderate must weight. After the grapes have been harvested, they are taken to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in large wood at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Oberrotweiler Henkenberg Pinot Gris is aged for several more months in oak barrels.
