Schoffit Pinot Gris 2022

2022 ‘The 2022 Pinot Gris Lieu-Dit Harth is from the Oberharth, closer to Colmar. The vines are between 50 and 60 years old. The palate comes with gentle bitterness surrounding the juicy, supple pear fruit, with russet pear peel gently framing this rounded wine. The finish is balanced with 3 g/L of residual sweetness but tempered by that pear peel notion. (Bone-Dry). Drink 2024-2034.’  90 points, Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous, January 2024.

From old vines in the Harth lieu-dit close to the family estate in Colmar in gravelly soils covered with light sandy loess. Very expressive aromas in this 2021 vintage due to the wine being left on gross lees for longer than previously. It shows with a very aromatic lift (much more than for the 2020 vintage of this wine) and just a touch of exotic fruit though not to excess with purity and finesse still at the core of this wine. Crystalline pure aromas, exotic and ripe fruit with excellent freshness and just utterly delicious. Importer’s notes.
