Herbert Meßmer Gleissweiler Grauburgunder 2023 Muschelkalk VDP Ortswein Bio, 0,75 L

This Grauburgunder from Gleisweiler brilliantly showcases just how exciting and multifaceted this grape variety can be. In the glass, it shines light yellow with golden reflections—an early indication of its density and richness. This is far from a supermarket-style wine, as the nose immediately reveals.

Ripe aromas of peach and nuts take centre stage, accompanied by subtle spice and a delicate smoky note. On the palate, it is powerful and full-bodied, yet remains elegant and never overwhelming. The balance is particularly striking: lively, well-integrated acidity adds freshness, making the wine both animating and approachable despite its fullness.

The shell limestone soils lend unmistakable character and structure, resulting in a wine with a strong profile that masterfully combines elegance and power.

As a food companion, it is wonderfully versatile, pairing beautifully with savoury dishes, robust meats, or creamy pasta. A wine that impresses across the board and shines on any table.
