Winemaking: Organic Gewurtztraminer, Traminer and Pinot Gris grapes were harvested by hand and were macerated in whole bunches for 7 days. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Pressed into old barrels where the wine aged for 1 year. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Exceptional skin contact wine from the slopes of the Vosges mountains. Layer upon layer of complexity and depth with aromas of dried rose petal, coriander seed, pink grapefruit skin, lychee and peach. Makes a versatile pairing for an aromatic food dish. Take your time and let it unfold. 

Notes on the Winemaker: After training with some of the great names in natural wine such as Patrick Meyer and Le Coste, Yannick Meckert established his own project following in the footsteps of his parents but taking winemaking in a more organic and holistic direction. In 2019 he produced his first vintage from just under 4 hectares in the Alsatian village of Obernai.
