100% Pinot Gris from the monopole Clos des Capucins vineyard. Shows delicate fruity notes such as pear and peach with smoky and buttery aromas. This light- to medium-bodied Pinot Gris expresses a pure balance between sweetness and acidity, which leads to a long-lasting finish and a mouth-watering sensation. 13.9% alcohol and 3.5 g/l residual sugar
What’s most striking about Malleron’s bottle—something the Sancerre obsessives will pick up on from the first sip—is the texture. Yes, this wine has the flinty minerality and floral bouquet. Yes, it’s got the straight line of bright, clean flavors and zippy acidity.

Brundlmayer's 2020 Ried Heiligenstein 1OTW Kamptal Riesling is the only Heiligenstein shown here, so no Lyra and no Alte Reben, which I assume will be released a year later. The nose is very clear and bright in its aromas but still discreet in everything...

The Bründlmayer family owns 12 hectares right in the centre of the Zöbinger Heiligenstein. 10,5 hectares are planted with Riesling, the remainder for experimental purposes with Cabernet (mostly Cabernet Franc). About 20% of the vineyards are trained in the Lyra trellis system. The other Heiligenstein vines are raised by the traditional Guyot method with the berries hanging 50-60 centimeters above the ground. Thinning is done as required to restrict the average yield to 3500-4000 liters per hectare for this classic (Kamptal DAC) Version. Two Reserves from Heiligenstein (Lyra, Alte Reben) are used to be harvested later in the year.
