The Details

100% old-vine Riesling from the Vourburg Grand Cru situated outside Pfaffenheim near the medieval village of Rouffach from biodynamics/natural wine trailblazer Pierre Frick. 

A portion of the grapes botrytized on the vine, but the wine is fermented fully dry.

Harvesting is by hand. Whole-bunch pressing is used, the juice is left to settle overnight.  Ferment is ambient with indigenous yeasts. Since 1998 there has been no chaptalization here. Old oak casks, averaging 3000 litres capacity, are used for maturation. No filtration, no fining agents, no SO2 added at any point. Maturation on fine lees in old oak barrels for 11 months.

Zero/zero. 12.5%ABV

About Alsace

Wines from Alsace, nestled in the northeastern corner of France along the Rhine River, offer a captivating and distinctive vinous journey. Renowned for their purity, varietal expression, and exceptional terroir, Alsace wines are celebrated for their clarity and consistency. The region's unique microclimate, sheltered by the Vosges Mountains, allows for the cultivation of a remarkable array of grape varieties, with Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris standing as emblematic stars. These wines, often bottled in tall, slender vessels known as flûtes, enchant the palate with their vibrant acidity, aromatic complexity, and the ability to beautifully reflect the terroir in which they are grown. From the bone-dry and mineral-driven Rieslings to the opulent and spicy Gewürztraminers, Alsace wines offer an enchanting glimpse into the artistry of winemaking, making them a treasured gem in the world of fine wine.
