Domaine Frey Sohler Pinot Gris 2022

This wine originates from Alsace, a region in northeastern France renowned for its aromatic white wines. Nestled at the foothills of the Vosges Mountains, Alsace features a mix of granite, limestone, and clay soils that contribute to the complexity of its wines. Domaine Frey Sohler, located in Scherwiller, is part of this storied tradition, producing wines that embody the region's rich history and terroir​.

Made from Pinot Gris grapes, this wine reflects the classic Alsatian style: full-bodied, aromatic, and slightly off-dry. Pinot Gris in Alsace is known for its lush texture and rich flavour profile. The grapes are grown in the estate's well-drained granite soils, ensuring optimal ripeness and flavour concentration. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats to preserve the wine's aromatic character. The use of fine lees during maturation adds depth and complexity to the final product​.

The 2022 Domaine Frey Sohler Pinot Gris is golden-hued with a complex bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, honey, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is lush and well-rounded, with flavours of pear, apricot, and a touch of minerality.

This Pinot Gris pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including pork, creamy mushroom sauces, cured meats, and lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Its balance of richness and acidity also makes it an excellent choice alongside roasted poultry.
