This Wine: Skin contact Pinto Gris that is tricky to categorise but basically drinks like a light red. Crunchy red berries with minerals and spice. A fine balance of elegance and rusticity. Drink slightly chilled.

Notes on the Winemaker:  Domaine Lissner was established over 150 years ago in the Alsatian village of Wolxheim. Bruno Schloegel and his son Theo now run this biodiverse estate where nature is encouraged to find its balance. With patience and attention, the vines can be self reliant and more resistant to challenges such as disease and drought. As a result, the duo produce wines with amazing balance and precision despite never using sulphur,
