Production
Produced traditionally by head winemaker Michel Lihrmann. Grapes are selected from vineyards with diverse soils - limestone, granite, gravel, marl and sandstone - which impart different characters and styles to the overall blend, and harvested by hand and machine, depending on site. Pneumatic pressing, temperature controlled fermentation, no fining and light filtration before bottling - all to preserve the fruit and aromatics.
Tasting notes
Turckheim's Tradition range are benchmarks for the classic Alsace varieties. The Pinot Gris has lovely ripe pear and a touch of warm ginger spice on the nose and a medium bodied, just off-dry palate with a typically Turckheim finish - fresh and well-balanced.
Food match
Meaty white fish such as monkfish, salmon or smoked trout, spicy Thai food.
