Pierre Frick
Pinot Gris Rot-Murlé 2020
Don’t let the rosy color in the glass fool you: this is an orange wine through and through! Alsace winemaker Pierre Frick takes pink-skinned Pinot Gris fermented with its own yeast and skin maceration, and creates elegance in a bottle. Expected medium body and acidity to go with its flavors of red grapefruit and pears, balanced with spice—reminiscent of sherry!
