Mader Dry Pinot Gris GC Schlossberg 2020 Mezcal

Mader Dry Pinot Gris GC Schlossberg 2020 MezcalSchlossberg is a south east facing slope from a steep terraced granite block. It became the first Alsace grand cru in 1975. Maders vineyard is east facing and the highest on the slope from vines over 25 y. o. giving tiny yield. The wine is whole bunch pressed with indigenous fermentation. Aged on lees for 9 months, 1 3 barrel, 2 3 stainless steel. This is an extremely impressive wine and one of the few really dry expressions of Pinot Gris to be found

we chose very toasted bourbon casks

Eric notes

November 2020

Its rounded palate and perfect balance will bring your tasting experiences to another level enjoyed pure or in Ti'Punch

It is a lemon liqueur obtained from the infusion of the grape skins of the Feminello variety

giving the vintage a fair maturity and fine balance

Citrus flavours dominate the palate with a refreshingly dry finish

The rum is said to be produced from molasses in a double column still and then aged for up to 8 years in American ex-bourbon barrels

Super-straight finish for this grape

An early drinking style driven by perfumed black raspberry fruit with anise and spice notes lingering long on the fresh and vibrant finish

sometimes called 'the Barolo of the south' for its capacity to age

Will cellar 10–15 years
