Allram Reserve Grauburgunder 2022

Cellar for up to 8 years. Serve chilled.

The Allram estate is recognised as one of the Kamptal region’s finest thanks to the hard work and dedication of Michaela Haas-Allram and her husband Erich who took over from her parents in 1992. The Kamptal has a growing reputation for exceptional white wines thanks to the steep terraced vineyards which look down on the Kamp river below. The Allram family have been making wine here for decades and benefit from some of the region’s finest vineyards, including plots in the premier Heiligenstein, Gaisberg, and Renner crus.

This charming Grauburgunder is crafted from the Pinot Gris grape grown in their 6 hectare Hasel vineyard. It’s a prized site that’s rich in chalk, loess and hummus and sits at 360 metres above sea level, providing great growing conditions for this white wine variety. The ample sunshine and cooler nights help to lock in plenty of freshness as well as ripe fruity character, creating a very well-balanced and approachable wine.

Once in the winery the fruit is fermented in 300 litre casks before being left to age for 6 months on the gross lees and another 6 months on the fine lees. This adds plenty of power and complexity to the wine, producing a full-bodied wine with a creamy, silky texture and intense notes of ripe orchard fruit, honey, fresh pastries, and lingering notes of citrus and spice.
