ABOUT THIS WINE
The Gustave Lorentz Pinot Gris Lieu dit Schofweg 2019 is a 100% Pinot Gris from Alsace, France, produced by a historic family estate founded in 1836. The wine originates from the 'Schofweg' vineyard, situated next to a Grand Cru, benefiting from a similar clay-limestone-sandstone terroir. The 2019 vintage was favorable, with warm conditions leading to ripe grapes. Gustave Lorentz is managed by the sixth generation of the family, continuing a winemaking legacy.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Gustave Lorentz Pinot Gris Lieu dit Schofweg begins with hand-harvested and carefully selected Pinot Gris grapes. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. A significant aspect of the aging process involves large, old oak foudres, some exceeding 100 years in age, which contribute a unique oxidative character and structure to the wine. The estate has held organic certification since 2012.
