Salwey Pinot Gris 2016

Near the top of the list of my favorite wine varietals is Pinot Gris (aka Pinot Grigio or Grauburgunder). The grape gets its name from its typically grayish-blue color. I’m especially fond of the slightly spicy versions of Pinot Gris that are plentiful in Alsace and, to a lesser extent, in Germany. These are edgy wines with lots of minerality. 

Recently, I came across a German Pinot Gris from Salwey Estate ($21.69) in the province of Baden, Germany that I really loved. Salwey Pinot Gris is crisp and acidic with full fruit flavors and a firm mineral undercurrent. This wine offers enticing aromas of pear and lemon with opulent apple, pear, peach and lychee flavors on the palate. 

Made with 100% Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder in Germany), winemaker Konrad Salwey really knocked it out of the park with the excellent 2016 vintage. Stock up while you can; this is a wine that will age well for the next five to seven years.
