2015 Dveri-Pax Pinot Gris

Dveri-Pax

Slovenia / Maribor / Dveri-Pax

Despite some longer periods of summer heat, vintage 2015 proved to be one of the best vintages in the recent years at Dveri-Pax. These wines are full-bodied, with beautifully mature acids.
The fruit is harvested by hand before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is matured on fine wine lees. Bottled under screwcap with 13.5% alcohol, 5.22g/L acidity and 1.9g/L residual sugar.
The colour is a delicate lemon to golden yellow. The bouquet is medium intense and very fruity. Pinot Gris, although not the most aromatic variety, in the vintage 2015 showed its luxurious character. On the palate, it is dry and full-bodied. A classic Styrian Pinot Gris with freshness of Pinot Grigio and fruitiness of Pinot Gris.
