A rich, textured Grand Cru Pinot Gris from Rosacker's dolomitic limestone. Honeyed and smoky in character, with the site's mineral intensity giving the wine backbone and length beyond a typical village-level Pinot Gris.
Rosacker's limestone turns Pinot Gris from a simple, fruity white into a wine with real gravitas.
New to wine?
For those who love rich whites — think of it as a mineral-driven alternative to an oaked Chardonnay.
