The Alsatian winery Geschickt introduces the Pinot Gris 'Phénix', an original interpretation that stands out for its characteristic bright orange-copper color. In fact, Pinot Gris is classified as a gray-berried variety, characterized by pinkish-gray berries, and thus vinification with skin contact extracts the pigments contained within, resulting in the wine's distinctive copper color. This grape variety likely originated in Burgundy, where it arose from a genetic mutation of Pinot Noir.
The Pinot Gris 'Phenix' by Geschickt is a 100% Pinot Gris cultivated according to certified organic and biodynamic farming principles. The vines, with an average age of over 25 years, are rooted in clay-limestone soils of alluvial origin. Harvesting is done manually, and the clusters are then transferred to the winery where spontaneous alcoholic fermentation takes place in oak barrels, accompanied by a full 30 days of skin maceration. After the fermentation process is complete, the wine matures
