$31.00
🇫🇷 Wine region: Alsace, North-East of France.📍 Appellation: Alsace🍇 Grape Variety: 100% Riesling🏜 Terroir: Gravel and pebbles covered with clay: an early-ripening soil due to its light, filtering structure that heats up quickly. Southeast exposure. 🌱 Farming: In organic conversion since 2020, High Environmental Value certified.Vines planted from 1967 to 1971, at a density of 5,200 vines per hectare.Grass grows between the rows to promote microorganisms, control yields, and limit erosion. Vigour is controlled through leaf thinning and topping. Yields are limited by manual thinning to ensure optimal ripeness and quality of the grapes.👨🏻🌾 Wine-making : Whole grape pressing is done slowly with a pneumatic press at low pressure, step by step, to preserve the grapes, avoiding crushing the stems and skins. The juice is clarified naturally and statically, systematically 48 hours or more after pressing to obtain a juice that is as finely aromatic as possible.
The fermentation of the must starts spontaneously thanks to the indigenous yeasts present in the juice (from the grapes). By controlling the fermentation temperature with a cooling system, the fermentation is very long, allowing the wine to develop body. Temperature control enhances the expression of the typical aromas of the grape variety.Aging potential: 6 to 8 yearsTechnical StuffAlcohol: 12.3% ABVResidual Sugars: < 1 g/lAcidity: 5.5 g TH2Terroir: Gravel and clay soilsExposure: Southeast-facingFarming: Organic conversion since 2020, HVE certified
📝 Tasting notes: On the nose, expect subtle almond aromas intertwined with notes of citrus and a beautiful, clean mineral edge. The palate offers a vibrant acidity, with fresh citrus, pink grapefruit, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Each sip strikes a perfect balance between refreshing acidity and richness.🍽 Food pairing: Ideal with oysters, seafood platters, fish, or the hearty flavors of sauerkraut. This wine's lively acidity and fresh citrus notes make it the perfect companion for briny or savory dishes.🏰 The Domaine: Odile and Fabien have worked as oenologists in Champagne, St Emilion and in the United States and Switzerland. Since 2020, the estate has been undergoing biological conversion preserving nature while respecting ecosystems. Out of respect for nature and as a result of our passionate and meticulous work on the vines, the domain has been awarded the High Environmental Value (HVE) label.Quantity:
