KnochenTrocken 2023

Knockentrocken means Bone Dry, and this wine from Der Glücksjäger in the Pfalz region of Germany is made with Weissburgunder and Grauburgunder, aka Pinot Gris.

Expect a more classic edge, with a crisp, clean finish. This is a wine for those looking for a more conventional style mouthfeel, yet still made with low intervention.
