PINOT GRIS GRAND CRU RANGEN BOXED SET
For the first time, Wolfberger invites epicureans on a unique journey through the vintages of Pinot Gris Grand Cru Rangen, reputed to be Alsace’s most southern and volcanic terroir, with an exceptional vertical tasting. 6 different vintages, for a Grand Cru emblematic of Alsace’s terroir, are to be discovered in this boxed set, guaranteeing a unique and uncommon tasting experience.
Vertical tasting allows you to compare the same wine (same appellation, same terroir, same grape variety) over several consecutive years, from the youngest to the most mature. This progressive tasting method allows wine enthusiasts to appreciate the external factors influencing the composition of a wine, from variations in climate to the specific, even complex characteristics of a terroir. The Grand Cru Rangen’s volcanic, sun-drenched soil produces wines of great aromatic richness. It has the particularity of being situated at a high altitude on 85% steep slopes, requiring meticulous vineyard work and manual harvesting with ropes. Its name derives from this specificity: Rangen being the translation of “slope” in old German.
ith its mythical geology and fertile, stony, dark soil that allows for greater heat accumulation, Rangen produces wines of rare elegance and fruity finesse, often with exceptional breed and power.
A SPECTACULAR BOX TO MATCH EACH VINTAGE’S PERSONALITY
For the first time, Wolfberger presents a 6-bottle box for vertical tasting.
From 2018 to 2013, the Pinot Gris Grand Cru Rangen is available in more subtle versions each year: the 2018 vintage is distinguished by a hint of vanilla and dried flowers, while the 2017 reveals citrus notes on the palate. Tasting the Grand Cru 2016 will release aromas of honey and apricot, the 2015 will stretch to those of dried fruit, while the 2014 will reveal toasty, roasted flavors. Finally, the oldest vintage, 2013, will reveal notes of yellow fruit and honey.
