This is such a great video! We just harvested some Trocknebeerenauslese level Pinot Gris, was a long waiting game!

Glad that you enjoyed the video, Kate. The botrytis selection process in the Mosel is rigorous and demanding, but we think it’s worth it to get those incredible late-harvest treasures. Where in the world is your vineyard? The only TBA-style Pinot Gris I’ve tasted have been SGNs from Alsace. Also incredible! ~ Kirk Wille, President, Loosen Bros, USA
