Dönnhoff’s 2021 Grauburgunder (also known as Pinot Gris) presents with a wonderfully potent bouquet of pineapples, mangoes, and an intoxicating creamy, vanilla note. On the palate, the wine mirrors the nose with tropical creamy notes dominating and fading to a bitter, zesty lemon rind note. This wine is simply bursting with flavor. With moderate acidity, it is a joy to drink on its own, and would pair well leaner fare.
