While Pinot Grigio is often associated with softness and roundness, this selection comes from the steep granite slopes of the Turckheim valley, which infuse the wine with a rare verticality, purity, and mineral tension, elevating it to a level of absolute elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCave de Turckheim - Alsace Pinot Gris AOC \"Granit de la Vallée\" 2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"3\"\u003ePinot Gris \"Granit de la Vallée\"\u003c\/b\u003e is a tribute to the unique geology of the Vosges. Granite is a poor soil that forces vine roots to penetrate deep, producing small, concentrated berries. The result is a wine that departs from the more opulent standards of Alsatian Pinot Grigio to embrace a leaner, more vibrant style. The 2023 vintage enhances this characteristic, offering a perfect balance between the typical volume of the grape variety and a sharp saline streak. It is a white wine of great personality, capable of combining the aromatic richness of yellow fruit with the austere finesse of rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSensory Profile\u003c\/b\u003e Visually, it shines with a clear golden yellow with crystalline reflections. On the nose, the intensity is refined and complex: it opens with notes of ripe apricot, Kaiser pear, and dried flowers, enriched by a smoky touch and a minerality reminiscent of wet stone. On the palate, it is surprising: the entry is broad and velvety, almost buttery, but it is immediately cut through by a decisive acidic backbone and a granitic minerality that gives length and verticality. The finish is dry, persistent, with a pleasant return of dried fruit and a hint of sweet spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/b\u003e The grapes are meticulously selected from parcels with the best granite exposure. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the integrity of the fruit. This is followed by several months of aging on fine lees, which allows the wine to acquire the complexity and palate volume necessary to balance the significant mineral load of the granite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/b\u003e Thanks to its structure and distinct savoriness, it is an extremely gastronomic wine. It pairs perfectly with flavorful white meats (veal or poultry with mushroom sauces), quiches with aged cheeses, and truffle-based dishes. Also excellent with fatty freshwater fish, such as arctic char or trout, and with lightly spiced oriental cuisine that requires body and a clean finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Cave de Turckheim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"30\"\u003eWine:\u003c\/b\u003e Alsace Pinot Gris AOC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"58\"\u003eSelection:\u003c\/b\u003e Granit de la Vallée\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"89\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"102\"\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Pinot Gris\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"142\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e France (Alsace)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"169\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Granitic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"186\"\u003eAlcohol Content:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.5% Vol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"209\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e 75 cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CAVE DE TURCKHEIM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57065032647031,"sku":"ARCDT049\/23","price":12.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/0734\/7063\/files\/CavedeTurckheimAlsaceAocPinotGris_GranitdelaVallee.png?v=1777798152","url":"https:\/\/vinart.it\/en\/products\/cave-de-turckheim-alsace-aoc-pinot-gris-granit-de-la-vallee-2023","provider":"VINART ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
