Gustave Lorentz Pinot Gris Organic Grand Cru Altenberg 2012

This Grand Cru has an intense nose with aromas of white peaches, sandalwood, vanilla, sweet spices and a hint of honey. Rich full wine with a beautiful balance between the acids and the residual sugars and a wonderfully long aftertaste. Full, yet subtle and elegant.
