Vintage: 2021
Size: 750ml
Closure: Glass
Varieties: 50% Pinot Gris, 40% Gewurztraminer, 10% Riesling

Terroir: Originating from Bennwihr's quaternary alluvial soils, the vines are 40 years old and cultivated biodynamically, contributing to the wine's complexity and mineral elegance.
Harvest: Hand-harvested with a low yield of 30 hl/ha to preserve concentrated flavours.
Vinification: The wine undergoes an 8-month maceration in amphorae made of clay and sandstone, each providing unique micro-oxygenation. Following maceration, it’s aged for 3 additional months in clay amphorae, creating a rounded texture. The wine is bottled unfiltered and without sulfur.
Aging: This amphora-aged wine reflects purity and smoothness from its 11-month aging process.
Tasting Notes / Food Pairing & Cellaring
On the Nose: Aromas are complex, with notes of rose, apricot, mirabelle plum, and raisin, inviting a deeply fragrant experience.
On the Palate: Silky and refreshing, the wine’s barely-there tannins lend balance. Its finish offers rose and rice wine nuances, adding intrigue and a hint of exoticism.
Pairing & Cellaring: Excellent with spicy dishes, beef tartare, or robust cheeses. Drink between 2022 and 2032 to appreciate its evolving depth and character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Maceration in amphorae allows the wine to gently extract flavours and tannins from the grape skins while benefiting from the amphora's unique micro-oxygenation.
The porous nature of the clay and sandstone helps the wine evolve slowly, contributing to a more rounded texture and enhancing complexity.
Aging in clay amphorae provides a natural, gradual oxygenation process, helping the wine soften and integrate its flavours.
The amphorae allow minimal but essential interaction with oxygen, enhancing the wine's purity, smoothness, and balanced texture, without overpowering the natural fruit characteristics.
Bottling unfiltered and without sulfur preserves the wine’s natural essence, allowing its true terroir and organic qualities to shine.
