Winemaking: Organic Riesling grapes from a small plot (0.8 hectares) on Grand Cru vineyards were hand harvested. Direct press and fermentation in stainless steel with indigenous yeast and aged in large old barrels. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Grand Cru Riesling from schist soils on the hill of Kastelberg which overlooks the village of Andlau, where Yann lives. A rare opportunity to taste this vintage from Yann which has developed wonderfully. 

Notes on the Winemaker: The Durrmann family make wine in the village of Andlau on the slopes of Vosges mountains in Alsace. The vineyards have been organic since 1998 and sulphur free cuvees have been produced since 2007 after Yann (the son) took over running the winery.
