Dornach – Souvignier Gris – Cecile 40 - 2022
A PiWi, Souvignier Gris is a cross between Seyval Blanc x Zahringer with the ability to thrive similarly to Pinot Blanc in the right conditions without requiring the same amount of treatments to withstand disease. The wine sees some skin contact so is amber in hue. Orange and apricot with spicy notes and light tea-like tannins, salty with subtle but present acidity.

The true embodiment of living in harmony with nature can be found at Dornach. Patrick Uccelli, his wife Karoline, and their three young children farm the terraced vineyards above Salorno originally planted by his family in 1836.
The ideals of biodynamicsare beautifully rendered here where grapes, other fruits, vegetables, grains, bees and livestock all exist harmoniously creating a closed ecosystem with amazing biodiversity. Dornach’s Pinot Blanc and Pinot Nero burst with varietal and regional character, pure expressions of site and personality.
