2012 Steitz Grauer Burgunder Trocken, Rheinhessen

( £13.00, 13%, Chix and Buck )

You might be surprised to learn that Germany sells more Grauer Burgunder (aka Pinot Gris) in the UK than Riesling. The statistic is less depressing when you taste a wine like this soft, pear, fig and apple-like example from the Rheinhessen, however. A very appealing dry white with more acidity than is immediately apparent.
