Charles Frey Pinot Gris Symbiose 2022

Originally hailing from Switzerland, the Frey family established themselves in Dambach-la-Ville in the 18th century with aspirations of vine cultivation. Starting with a mere 1.5 hectares in Dambach-la-Ville, their early viticulture was intertwined with polyculture, aided by family cattle. By 1958, Charles and Jean-Pierre Frey received 0.75 hectares each from their father, leading Charles and his wife Renée to venture into exclusive winegrowing, resulting in the first bottles in 1963. A cellar and wine-tasting space emerged in 1968, further growing to accommodate the enterprise's then-4-hectare harvest. In 1997, Dominique, now joined by his wife Nathalie, embraced biodynamic farming, turning the estate into an Alsace biodynamic pioneer. Overcoming initial scepticism, their dedication endured and Julien, the third generation, entered the scene introducing fresh ideas. A new bioclimatic storehouse arose in 2010, marking a significant stride. With 14 hectares today the journey continues with the addition of Thiébaud, the youngest, shaping the future commercial direction.

Smooth, invigorating, and subtle, this wine offers a delightful interplay of smoked notes over an elegant fruity profile, showcasing a diverse spectrum of aromas, including yellow-fleshed fruits and candied varieties. This Pinot Gris works seamlessly with roasted dishes, game meats and smoked meats.
