It feels concentrated for 11.5% alcohol. The final sip has a little almond-skin grip, which makes it a smart bottle for fish, roast chicken and soft cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Höfflin Pinot Gris 2023 comes from loess soils in Baden's Markgräflerland. The wine carries sustainable certification, and the fruit tastes clean, sunlit and intact. The Pinot Gris lands in the glass with peach, pear, apple and apricot in a clear orchard register. At 11.5% alcohol, it feels like a measured take on a grape that often gains weight in Baden. The dry balance gives the loess-grown fruit a rounded center and a lightly dusty edge.\n\nIn the cellar, Höfflin ages this Pinot Gris in stainless steel tanks. The glass stays with orchard fruit and texture from the first pour. There is a faint dried-fruit note, like apple ring or dried apricot, set into a concentrated mouthfeel. The finish has a light almond-skin bitterness and a small point of sharpness on the tongue. The last sip leaves pear skin and dried apricot on the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first scent is yellow pear, peach skin and a little apple flesh, with a dried-apricot note that appears as the wine warms and gives this dry Pinot Gris its quiet signature. On the palate, Höfflin Pinot Gris 2023 is dry and concentrated, with a rounded middle that feels broader than its 11.5% alcohol suggests. Apricot and pear carry the fruit, then a fine bitter edge brings to mind almond skin and fresh apple peel. A small point of sharpness touches the tip of the tongue and gives the finish a memorable Baden-Markgräflerland snap after the richer fruit has faded. Drink 2024-2027.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePour this Höfflin Pinot Gris 2023 with pan-fried trout in lemon butter, especially if the skin is crisp and the plate has a few boiled potatoes. The wine's pear and apricot fruit also suit seafood such as scallops with browned butter or prawns with fennel and a squeeze of orange. For a regional Baden table, serve it with Badischer Spargel and hollandaise, where the dry texture and light bitter finish handle the sauce and the green snap of the asparagus. Roast chicken with root vegetables is a strong match; the 11.5% alcohol feels easy at the table and the almond-skin finish meets the browned edges. With soft cheese, choose young Brie or mild goat cheese and add sliced apple to echo the wine's final note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHöfflin is the kind of Baden name I notice through the details on a bottle, and this 2023 Pinot Gris gives several of them straight away in a quiet and useful way. The label points to sustainable certification; the fruit comes from loess in Markgräflerland; the wine is dry; the cellar keeps the aging in stainless steel tanks; each point has a sensory echo here. Those facts read directly in the glass: the pear is clean; the peach is yellow; the finish has a small almond-skin bite that feels specific to this bottling and stays after the pear fruit has gone. The producer’s hand is clearest in the decision to bottle this Pinot Gris at 11.5% alcohol, so the wine feels compact, textural and easy to follow through its bitter-edged finish from the first chilled pour. At that strength, the 2023 keeps a clear line from apple to dried apricot, then leaves a prickle on the tip of the tongue in a way I remember after the glass is empty. I like Höfflin here for the way the estate treats Pinot Gris as a wine of shape, touch and fruit, and the stainless steel aging gives the whole bottle a clean orchard-fruit outline from first smell to final swallow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"höfflin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54426745930065,"sku":"GWCOM-GW001146","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/GW001146.png?v=1785227311","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/hofflin-grauer-burgunder-loss-2023-075l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
