Martin Nigl’s ‘Freheit’ is sourced from 4 different vineyards in the  hills above the city of Krems. The soils here are primarily löss and the temperature is moderated by its steep elevation.

-Importer notes (Skurnik)

The Pinot Grigio presents itself as fresh and lively on the nose, with a floral bouquet, hints of yellow peach, and a touch of minerality. On the palate, it is enveloping, offering fresh and savory sensations. The fruity notes reappear, culminating in a mouth-closing with a pleasing mineral finish.
