Ziereisen's approach to Pinot Gris diverges sharply from the fuller, sweeter interpretations common in Alsace across the border. Hanspeter's version emphasizes mineral precision and textural richness through spontaneous fermentation and up to 20 months on lees with batonnage—burgundian techniques applied to Baden limestone. The 2022 vintage captures the estate's philosophy perfectly: bone-dry minerality from limestone soils, textural weight from extended lees contact, subtle stone-fruit notes, and a savory finish that begs for food. This is not an aperitif wine; this is a serious food partner, expressing terroir with architectural clarity and uncompromising purity. Each sip is a conversation between vineyard and cellar, soil and patience.

"The white-golden, pink-shimmering 2022 Grauer Burgunder opens with a clear, fine and elegantly aromatic, dense and fruity but also sur lie nose with notes of ground hazelnuts. The wine is full-bodied, dense and textured, quite intense yet very elegant and provided with fine tannins and fine, saline acidity, which gives a quiet and balanced flow over the palate as well as the long, intense and even quite complex finish. A stunning wine at this price point. This is probably the finest vintage Hanspeter Ziereisen has produced of this wine. 13% stated alcohol. Screw cap."

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
