Technical Details
Winery Technical Data
The Gentil Willm is a traditionnal blend going back to the 19th century from selected grapes grown in the best hillside vineyards. It's an alliance of Riesling (used for its finesse and acidity), Pinot Gris (for its structure), Gewurztraminer (for its roundness) and Pinot Blanc (for
its fruit and suppleness).
2015: A very mild spring followed by high temperatures in June and July, with episodes of severe drought accompanied by stormy passage allowed a vintage with a perfect health status of the grapes. 2015 devoted the talents of experienced balancing actors: it was necessary to be very precise in the management of alcohol balance / residual sugars / acids.
