Dry, biodynamically farmed Pinot Gris from Zellenberg, aged two years in old foudres for depth and texture; ripe stone-fruit and gentle spice with a saline, bitter-edged finish.
Previously labelled as Zellenberg, the Tempés got into trouble with the AC body that (stupidly) forbids the use of the Zellenberg village as a cuvée name. The clayey marls of Zellenberg gives this wine great structure and depth of fruit as per all Tempé wines, it was aged for two years on fine lees in traditional foudres. Touch of reduction on the nose, it opens up quickly showcasing warmth and richness, the fruit is yet restrained with pear, peach, and spices with lovely bitters on the finish.
