Grape Variety: Gewurztraminer

Producer: Domaine Rietsch

Region: Mittelbergheim, Alsace, France

Certified Organic

Vegan friendly wine

Wild Scale: 3/5

Winemaking: Organic Gewurztraminer grapes were harvested by hand. 2/3 of the grapes underwent a 11 day whole bunch maceration. Direct press for the remaining 1/3. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Matured on the lees for 8 months in barrel. Bottled with no fining or filtration and just a small amount of sulphur.

This Wine: Always one of our favourite Riestch cuvées, this is a wine full of finesse. Golden in the glass with aromatic notes of dried rose petals, stone fruits and lychees. A dry expression of the unique Gewurztraminer grape.

Notes on the Winemaker: Jean-Pierre Rietsch is a natural winemaker in the village of Mittelbergheim, Alsace. His estate has been in the family for seven generations but wasn't used for vine cultivation until the 1970s. He has garnered a reputation as a legend in this area and when you try his wines, you'll see why. From rich and complex Riesling to traditional method sparkling wine and skin contact cuvées, his wide range has something for everyone.
