Grape Variety: Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois

Producer: Anna, Andre & Yann Durrmann

Region: Andlau, Alsace, France

Certified Organic

Vegan friendly wine

Wild Scale: 4/5

11.5% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois grapes were harvested by hand. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast after long, slow press of 6 hours. Aged on full lees in old barrels until bottling. No fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural white wine with a hazy and textured body. This is less tropical in previous vintages displaying a more refined character of citrus fruit and mineral backbone. Fresh acidity and low alcohol (11.5%) make this the perfect aperitif at a great price. Only 6800 bottles produced.

Notes on the Winemaker: Yann Durrmann lives in the village of Andlau in the Bas-Rhin department of Alsace. His parents decided to become full time winemakers after the previous generation had explored viticulture as a hobby. They managed to acquire amazing plots on the steep slopes of the Vosges mountains that were not in high demand as farmers looked for sites that could be easily accessed with machines. Since 1998, the vineyards have been farmed organically and in 2007, Yann began to take over the running of the domaine and decided that wines should be produced without sulphur additions, something his parents were very open minded about. The Durrmann cuvées are now in high demand, always recognised for their ability to show honest and pure expressions of Alsace terroir along with their great value.
