Excellent late harvest Pinot Gris!
Presentation
The vintage
The exceptional 2018 vintage will be remembered as much for its unusual weather as the care deployed in choosing the best harvest dates.
For the first time in Sipp Mack’s history, our harvest began in August with the Crémant grapes and finished 5 weeks later with the grapes for our late-harvest wines! Patience was important as we micromanaged harvest dates to ensure the best grape quality. The challenge was successfully met, and the resulting wines are pure, refreshing, and beautifully balanced.

Tasting
Elegant nose with candied fruit and honey notes. The palate is rich and concentrated with a lively acidity and toasty finish. Very beautiful success. Drink on its own for pleasure, match with foie gras and candied figs and dates, or with a fruit dessert (not chocolate).
