The Altenbourg vineyard lies to the east of Schlossberg, just below the Grand Cru Furstentum. The soil here is composed of limestone and rich clays and as such it is considered an optimal site for Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat. The Faller family are a geniuses when it comes to sweet whites, creating ethereal wines that, despite their profound depth, always offer superb mineral drive and freshness.
Bottled with 130 grams of residual sugar and balanced by mouth-watering acidity, the 2019 is a crystalline, pure and powerful Pinot Gris, showcasing exquisite balance between all its elements. If anything, the score below is a touch frugal!
