✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Domaine Rolly Gassmann's Pinot Gris is a masterclass in the rich, off-dry, and deeply textural style that defines this legendary Alsace estate. Sourced from the complex, multi-layered limestone and clay soils of Rorschwihr, this wine benefits from the region's unique microclimate and geological diversity. The Gassmann family practices a patient philosophy, harvesting late to capture botrytis-influenced complexity and generous residual sugar, balanced by a spine of vibrant acidity. Historically, Pinot Gris in Alsace was known as 'Tokay d'Alsace,' a name tied to the legend of Baron Lazare de Schwendi, who supposedly brought vines back from Hungary in the 16th century. While modern regulations have retired the historical moniker, the wine's noble, smoky, and honeyed character remains as legendary as ever, showing incredible depth, stone fruit richness, and a signature mineral finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Domaine Rolly Gassmann i den alsidiske landsby Rorschwihr blev grundlagt i 1967 ved foreningen af to historiske vinbavende slægter, hvis rødder i regionen rækker helt tilbage til henholdsvis 1611 og 1676. I dag drives ejendommen af Pierre Gassmann og hans familie, som forvalter over 50 hektar vinmarker fordelt på en kompleks mosaik af geologisk forskelligartede terroirs. Dyrkningen sker ud fra et kompromisløst engagement i bæredygtige og biodynamiske principper. Huset er særligt berømt for sin tålmodige filosofi om at lagre vinene på flaske i årevis – ofte i årtier – før frigivelse, hvilket tilfører dem en enestående modenhed og harmoni. Domaine Rolly Gassmann nyder stor international anerkendelse for sine overdådige halvtørre og søde hvidvine, herunder udtryksfulde cuvéer på Riesling, Pinot Gris og Gewurztraminer samt legendariske Vendanges Tardives og Sélection de Grains Nobles.
