The Pinot Gris grows in the same deep shell-limestone soils that anchor the estate's acclaimed Spätburgunder, and it is made the same way it has been for years: hand-harvested, macerated on its skins for 12–24 hours, then gently pressed to capture texture without extracting bitter phenolics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation happens in a mix of stainless and large-format 2,400-liter oak barrels, followed by five months on the fine lees. The result is a pale copper wine at 12.5% — closer in color to rosé than to amber, with the silky, satiny mouthfeel of short maceration and a light tea-tannin dryness on the finish. Raspberry, white cherry, citrus peel, and dried rose. A lighter-touch entry into the skin-contact style, and a VDP member estate at $27.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eECOLOGY : Certified Sustainable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003cbr\u003eSeared duck breast with cherry reduction — the wine's red-fruit character and light tannin bridge between white wine and a light red cleanly\u003cbr\u003eAged Comté or Gruyère — nutty cheese amplifies the mineral and textural qualities; the wine's light grip cuts through the fat\u003cbr\u003eGrilled branzino with herbs — citrus acidity and lean phenolic structure cut through the oil; herbal finish mirrors the herb crust\u003cbr\u003ePork rillettes or pâté de campagne — classic charcuterie pairing for Ramato-style wines; fat and salt balance against light tannin\u003cbr\u003eRoasted beet and arugula salad with goat cheese — earthy beet picks up the mineral notes; goat cheese acidity aligns with the grapefruit character\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Field Blend Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62787871080607,"sku":"8417","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0232\/3203\/files\/IMG-1127.jpg?v=1778808251","url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/weingut-friedrich-becker-dry-pinot-gris-750ml","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
