Variety: Pinot Gris
The Pinot Gris is a white grape variety that probably originated by mutation from Blue Burgundy (Pinot Noir). When harvesting, you often find white and red berries on one grape. Sometimes also individual berries are of different color. The Pinot Gris wines are the most rich in extract in Austria and therefore substantial with a fine aroma.

Orange wines are white wines fermented on the mash (whole berries). Due to the contact with the grape skin, the wines get a more intense color and more tannin.

Tasting: bright orange with violet reflections, honey and vanilla in the nose and at the palate, ripe exotic fruits, harmonious, balanced character and spiciness, strong, concise with a long finish.

Best served with: grilled zander with zucchini, chicken breast with cabbage on white wine-spring onion sauce, poultry, pork, brisket with apple horseradish, leek pie, saddle of hare with hazelnut risotto
