James Suckling
A very spicy and intense pinot grigio with thyme, lemon leaves, peonies, salt and minerals on the nose. Light-bodied with crisp acidity and a tight, polished finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.

Eric Guido - Vinous
The 2023 Pinot Grigio Porer is spicy and vibrant in the glass, mixing crushed limes with minty herbs and hints of freshly split pine. It opens with a saline flourish up front, giving way to notes of green melon and an air of chamomile toward the close. Crisp and cleansing to the senses, the 2023 Pinot Grigio Porer tapers off with excellent length while leaving the palate salivating for more.
Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The Alois Lageder 2023 Pinot Grigio Porer (an organic and biodynamic wine) shows a timid bouquet that is not quite neutral nor does it speak with a loud voice. It instead offers easy-paced aromas of citrus, apple and dry grass or hay. This vintage is a little messier, perhaps, in terms of aromas without the same level of crystalline detail and sharpness that you get in cooler vintages. These results are open-knit and immediate. The release of 66,000 bottles has an ever-so slight pinkish hue to its appearance.
