Holger Koch Pinot Gris 2022

Producer	Holger Koch
Region	Germany
Vintage	2022
Maceration	Skin contact
Additions	Sans soufre — no sulfur
Aging	7 months in used barrels

Part of Holger Koch’s exciting new line of macerated, sans-soufre wines, this maceration of Pinot Gris is prismatic in the glass and on the palate. Natural German orange wine: skin contact, no sulfur added, aged 7 months in used barrels. The result is something that breaks with conventional German white wine production entirely — a wine with texture, grip, and aromatic complexity that the clean-fermented style never achieves.

Tasting Notes

Dreamlike fruit with crunchy herbaceousness and rolling acidity. Light rosé-orange in colour from the maceration. The skin contact adds a specific grip and aromatic depth that conventional Pinot Gris production removes. A wine of genuine character from an exciting German producer.

How to Serve

Serve at 12–14°C. Open 20 minutes before serving.

Food Pairing

Aged soft cheese, charcuterie, roast pork, Asian cuisine, spiced dishes. The texture and grip handle more than conventional white wine.
