Polz Pinot Gris Ehrenhausen & Zeit South Styria DAC 2021 13% ABV 1.5l in a gift box

The Polz Grauer Burgunder Ehrenhausen & Zeit Südsteiermark DAC 2021 13 % is a characterful Pinot Gris from Southern Styria; as an ‘Ehrenhausen’ local wine, it highlights the special terroir surrounding this historic wine-growing village. Local wines are made using the finest grapes of a selected grape variety from a single wine-growing village – a time-honoured philosophy of origin that the Polz winery embraces with this wine. This 1.5-litre bottle contains a sophisticated Südsteiermark DAC local wine made from Pinot Gris, whose vines grow on coral limestone. This distinctive soil type and the careful selection of the vineyard give the 2021 vintage a distinctive, full-bodied style with structure and depth.


The Polz Pinot Gris Ehrenhausen & Zeit 2021 is aimed at connoisseurs of more complex Styrian white wines who seek not only fruit but also structure and a sense of maturity. The finely defined tannic structure and fuller body make it a versatile accompaniment to food and clearly distinguish it from straightforward, fruity Pinot Gris wines. This Südsteiermark DAC is traditionally sealed with a cork. The estate’s stated drinking window, extending at least until 2029, underlines the ageing potential of this high-quality Pinot Gris from Ehrenhausen.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Polz Grauer Burgunder Ehrenhausen & Zeit 2021 presents itself as a medium straw yellow with pale edges. On the nose, it is initially reductive and full-bodied, accompanied by light toasty aromas, a hint of caramel and nuances of yellow fruit. On the palate, it is warming and full-bodied with subtle smoky notes, well-integrated acidity and a fine, lively tannin structure. The finish is structured, multi-layered and characterised by lingering depth.

Acidity: 4.9 g/l

Residual sugar: 1.2 g/l

Served at 10–12 °C, this Pinot Gris from Southern Styria pairs particularly well with roast veal or pork fillet with rich roasted flavours. Mushroom risotto, pasta with porcini mushrooms, mature cheeses and mildly smoked dishes also harmonise excellently with its full-bodied structure. This makes it particularly well-suited as an accompaniment to a more substantial autumnal or evening meal.
