The Grauburgunder Reserve from the Baden region is accessible and smooth. The aroma invites you to the first sip, where the fine acidity perfectly balances the fruity notes. Haltinger wines are all of high quality. Thanks to the collaboration of dozens of winegrowers and the shared experience, Haltinger knows exactly what the grapes need to develop into the finest juice.
The quality wines of the Haltinger wine-growing cooperative
Founded in 1936, the Haltinger winegrowing cooperative is located in Haltingen, a district of Weil am Rhein in the triangle formed by Germany, Switzerland, and France. Dozens of winegrowers work together in the 50 hectares of vineyards in areas including Schlipf and Haltinger Stiege. The focus is on Gutedel, which accounts for 45 percent of the vineyards, and Pinot Noir occupies 30 percent. Riesling, white Burgundy, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer are also grown. The wines are characterized by abundant fruit and a mineral character. The terroir is chalky and of very high quality.
The Grauburgunder grapes come from plots on the southwest side of the hill. The soil consists of limestone marl with a loess layer. This contributes to the grape variety's unique characteristics. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand, ensuring that only the best grapes are selected for the final wine. A cold maceration of 12 hours follows in the winery. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 17 degrees Celsius. The wine is then allowed to rest for a while before bottling.
Enjoy the distinctive character of the Grauburgunder Reserve
Grauburgunder, the German name for Pinot Gris, has a pale yellow color in the glass and welcomes you with aromas of pear, honey, and melon. The flavor is delightfully smooth and beautifully combined with the fine acidity. Thanks to its distinctive character, this Grauburgunder Reserva pairs well with a wide variety of dishes, from white meat to fish and from salads to pasta.
