ENGEL PINOT GRIS RÉSERVE ORGANIC 2023

This elegant and harmonious wine from Alsace stands out for its fullness, delicate fruitiness, and refined aromas. The nose reveals notes of ripe pear, fig, dried fruit, and vanilla, with hints of spice and caramel. On the palate, it is round, smooth, and full-bodied, with well-balanced freshness and a delicate mineral finish. A touch of residual sugar adds complexity without compromising its elegance.

Harvest date: September 2023, specifically during the second half of the month, when the grapes reached optimal ripeness.
Method: hand-picking, typical of high-quality Alsace wines and especially of organic farming. Hand-harvesting allows for the careful selection of only healthy, perfectly ripe grapes.
The 2023 growing season in Alsace was marked by a sunny, warm summer, resulting in well-ripened grapes with balanced acidity and aromatic intensity. Favorable conditions contributed to an excellent aromatic profile and aging potential.
