Brassy-orange in color, the 2015 Grauburgunder Badischer Landwein has orange aromas and is clear, relatively precise, fresh and pure on the nose. This silky, vital and elegant wine reveals a pure, medium weighted, pretty mineral and well-structured body with citrus flavors in the aftertaste. The final grip is still a bit austere, but this is a real character that will age for a couple of years. The wine is sourced from a plot next to the one used for the Pinot Noir Muschelkalk, and this comes from shell limestone as well. It was fermented and aged in a 500-liter stoneware (Steinzeug) that can't be filled up to the top, so this Pinot Gris was grown in a bit of an oxidative milieu.
