Winemaker
Johannes and Christoph Thörle farm their Saulheim vineyards organically. Their work follows the differences in the ground and the season, building on the family's long relationship with the area.

Wine
Grauburgunder is Pinot Gris, showing a broader, more rounded side of the estate's whites. Pear and yellow fruit, with a rounded palate and a fresh finish. There is enough body for food without the wine feeling heavy. Pour with pork, roast chicken or vegetables in a creamy sauce; it is a useful alternative when a sharper white would feel out of place.

Origin
Saulheim lies within Rheinhessen's limestone, marl and loess country. Its sheltered climate gives Pinot Gris enough warmth to develop breadth. Cooler parts of the season preserve the acidity that keeps the rounded fruit balanced.
