About this wine
A bright golden-yellow Pinot Gris with aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and acacia blossom, lifted by subtle notes of honey and sweet spice. Round and smooth on the palate, with stone fruit, citrus, and a touch of almond leading to a long, harmonious finish.
Rich and generous without being sweet — a great gateway into Alsace's fuller-bodied whites.
Sommelier's Note

- It is off-dry — round and generous with a touch of residual sugar, but balanced by fresh acidity so it doesn't taste overtly sweet.

- Its richness suits foie gras, roasted poultry, and creamy dishes, and it has enough weight to stand up to fried food like tempura or tonkatsu.
- How is Pinot Gris different from Pinot Grigio?
- They are the same grape, but Alsace Pinot Gris is typically riper, fuller-bodied, and slightly off-dry, unlike the lean, bone-dry style of Italian Pinot Grigio.

クロ・デュ・ザナケール
Clos du Zahnacker
WhiteRiesling · Pinot Gris · Gewurztraminer
Cave de Ribeauvillé's rarest and most historic cuvée: a field blend of equal parts Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer, co-harvested, co-pressed, and co-fermented from a single 1.24-hectare walled parcel within the Osterberg Grand Cru. Documented since the 8th century and exclusive to the cooperative since 1965, it shows a powerful, complex nose mixing Riesling's petrol edge, Pinot Gris's smokiness, and Gewurztraminer's rose and spice, with citrus, fig, and gunflint on a full, structured palate.
