The soils in the Pfalz region, where the Jülg winery is located, are exceptionally diverse and play a crucial role in the quality of the wines. The region features calcareous soils, clayey substrates, sand, and slate, providing ideal conditions for various grape varieties. This diversity allows for the cultivation of varieties such as Riesling, Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), and Sauvignon Blanc, each developing its unique character. The soils in the Pfalz contribute to the terroir expression and are a key factor in the outstanding wines produced by the Jülg winery. They offer a rich palette of aromas and enhance the diversity of Pfalz wine production.
The Grauburgunder, also known as Pinot Gris, is a versatile white wine with a rich flavor profile. It typically presents aromas of ripe yellow fruits such as pear and apricot, accompanied by subtle notes of honey, nuts, and spices. On the palate, it is usually dry to off-dry, with a well-balanced acidity that adds freshness and a full-bodied, velvety mouthfeel. A characteristic feature of Grauburgunder is its slightly reddish color, which comes from the lightly grayish berries.
