Cave de Turckheim Pinot Gris Grand Cru Brand

Wine information: Cave de Turckheim is situated in the pretty village of Turckheim, just slightly north west of Colmar. Firmly established as one of the best co-operatives in the world Cave de Turckheim always pays the utmost respect for the wine, combining rigour, know-how and patience with the latest technology and a steady stream of investment. Michel Lihrmann has been their senior winemaker for over 25 years and strongly believes that varietals in Alsace should express their delicate characteristics and favours the dryer style of Alsace wines. Testimony to their quality and attention to detail has been the clutch of medals and awards gained over the past few years, culminating in a clutch of awards, especially for the Grand Cru Brand range. 100% Pinot Gris.

Tasting Notes: Cave de Turckheim Pinot Gris Grand Cru Brand shows full-on tropical fruit (pineapple & dried apricot) aromas mixed with spice and honey, rich and full-bodied concentration, spicy but with 'sweet' fruit undertones and then followed by long acidity making it taste drier and more elegant. A richly concentrated elegant wine oozing quality and style.

Food & Wine match: Try with Foie gras, Indian and Thai food (although not too much chilli!), smoked mackerel or full flavoured trout, salmon or sea bass dishes featuring soy sauce, ginger et al.
