2023 Philip Lardot, Pinot Gris ‘Narre’, Mosel, Germany

Description

This is a new single-vineyard Pinot Gris from Lardot called Narre, the plot is below the “plateau” on the top of the hillside in the side valley of Zell (equidistance around the bend from both Ulli’s estate and Clemens Busch in Pnderich), which used to have an old marketplace in the 15th century. 14 year old vines, pure grey slate, on a south exposition. This was hand-destemmed and fermented on skins for 14 days then aged for 10 months in barriques, and is a glorious expression of the grape – hifi in colour, delicate tannins and awash in pink peppercorns, anise and piquant red peach and grapefruitvapors.

This wine arrives the last week of April, 2025.
