Weingut Gallunder Grauburgunder Wielitsch 2020 Reserve

In the South Styria region, there are diverse soil types. The primary soils are slate and limestone. Slate soils retain water and heat, resulting in slow grape ripening and mineral wines. Limestone soils are mineral-rich and contribute to the complexity and finesse of the wines. These different soil types impart a layered characteristic to the wines, making them unique in flavor.

Grauburgunder, also known as Pinot Gris, is a versatile white wine with a rich flavor profile. Typically, it 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 well-balanced acidity that lends freshness, and a full-bodied, velvety mouthfeel. A characteristic feature of Grauburgunder is its slightly reddish color, derived from the slightly greyish berries.
