Villa Wolf Pinot Gris Pfalz 2021

Pfalz QbA

/ 5 ( reviews)

From an estate rescued by one of Germany's leading modern winemakers, the great Ernst Loosen, Villa Wolf is a deliciously appetising Pinot Gris. From a terrific vintage, look forward to full, creamy peach fruit, fresh citrus with a hint of spice.

Germany’s Pfalz region is best known for Riesling, but it excels with other aromatic whites too, particularly in great vintages. 2021 produced some stunning wines, although it was a very labour-intensive year. Ernst Loosen is a leading light of modern winemaking, one of the first to show that Germany could excel at crisp dry whites, a style that appeals more to modern tastes. His wines are renowned around the world. The 18th-century Villa Wolf estate is one of his rescue projects and this well-balanced, rounded, ripely fruity and lemony-fresh Pinot Gris shows his skill. Its creamy peach, grapefruit and bright stony freshness make it an ideal wine with many chicken or fish dishes, or try it with sushi, for a change. It's also great solo.
