I tasted a couple of Pinot Gris during the Weingut Heitlinger tasting. The first was their Spicy Stone Trocken of the 2010 vintage. A nice lemon yellow with an acid slightly fruity nose with a hint of sweetness and minerals, the palate was off-dry acid crisp turning fruity in the mouth. The acid remained throughout the palate and formed a nice backbone with a touch of astringency in the finish.
The other wine was a GG Spiegelberg 2012, which had a surprising hint of pink showing in its deep yellow colouration. The nose was crisp and minerally with a touch of acid and was much more tightly focused than the Spicy Stone. The palate was crisp yet rich with lots of minerality and acid, which persisted to form a good backbone for the wine. There was no hint of astringency in this wine's profile.
