| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by ILarsen on 3/20/2024 & rated 91 points: My first Pinot Gris from Weinbach - have only had Riesling in the past - a good experience - the wine is not giving a lot on the nose - but on the palette you get pear, some apple also marzipan - you clearly feel some residual sugar - a good balance think 91 is a fair rating.

Domaine Weinbach received official designation as organic and biodynamic in 2010.Pinot GrisFrom Pinot Gris Wikipedia entry:
Wines made from the Pinot gris vary greatly and are dependent on the region and wine making style they are from. Alsatian Pinot gris are medium to full bodied wines with a rich, somewhat floral bouquet. They tend to be spicy in comparisons with other Pinot gris. While most Pinot gris are meant to be consumed early, Alsatian Pinot gris can age well. German Pinot gris are more full-bodied with a balance of acidity and slight sweetness. In Oregon the wines are medium bodied with a yellow to copper-pink color and aromas of pear, apple, and/or melon. In California, the Pinot gris are more light bodied with a crisp, refreshing taste with some pepper and arugula notes. The Pinot grigio style of Italy is a light-bodied, often lean wine that is light in color with sometimes spritzy flavors that can be crisp and acidic. Although this wine can be very sweet, it will begin to lose its acidity when it is nearly ripe.
Pinot gris is considered an "early to market wine" that can be bottled and out on the market within 4–12 weeks after fermentation.
