Südsteiermark DACGrauburgunder - Pinot Gris Turmalin Ried Kreuzberg 2018

The Pinot Gris initially shows a reserved nose, but a little air and time will bring out the yellow-fruity aromas of ripe apple, quince and peach with some smokiness. Good incisive acidity, tautness and freshness distinguish this wine. There are also delicate hints of brioche, coconut and a touch of vanilla. Punchy, tightly woven and precise with wonderful balance and a long finish.

SIGNUM BLANC grows on rocky soil rich in tourmaline, a unique terroir on the Kreuzberg in southern Styria, on steep slopes. The soil contains black tourmaline, a precious gemstone.

Immediately after the harvest, the grapes from the respective harvest batches are gently pressed and fermented separately in steel tanks and wooden barrels. From this, Thomas and Toni Rothschädl develop their wine with a lot of love, sensitivity and consideration for sustainability, which reflects the ingenious terroir in the glass: The tourmaline-rich rocky soil and the precious old vines that have enjoyed the Mediterranean-Illyrian climate for months.
