Domaine Albert Mann Cuvée Albert Pinot Gris 2022 from Alsace is a beautifully poised, dry expression of Pinot Gris, bringing together biodynamic farming, limestone soils and a very pure, modern Alsatian style. This Domaine Albert Mann ‘Cuvee Albert’ Pinot Gris 2022 shows white‑fleshed stone fruits and melon, with hibiscus, honeysuckle, pear and a light honeyed, chalky edge that keeps it savoury rather than sweet. The palate is medium‑bodied, properly dry and finely chalky, with refreshing acidity and a clean, mineral finish that makes it incredibly food‑friendly.

It is spot‑on with roast chook, creamy mushroom risotto, rich seafood like scallops or prawns in a buttery sauce, and even mildly spicy Asian dishes where its fruit and acidity balance the heat. Soft cheeses such as Brie and Gruyère work beautifully with the wine’s gentle richness and texture, making it a very versatile option for both weeknight dinners and entertaining. Serve lightly chilled to let the florals and minerality really shine.

Critics love the balance here – James Suckling has awarded it 93 points, highlighting its fresh feel, chalky minerality and fine melon, hibiscus and honeysuckle nuances, underlining its quality at the price. For an Australian buyer wanting a dry, gastronomic Pinot Gris rather than something overtly sweet, this is a smart pick that shows off classic Alsace character with modern precision.
