Farmed organically on sandy gravel soils around the village of Kientzheim. Lots of ripe green apple, a little glycerol and lift on the nose.

Domaine Mittnacht is a charming family run estate based in the town of Hunawihr. Known as one of the early pioneers for biodynamic farming, their farm was one of the first to gain certification in in Alsace over 20 years ago. Made in a méthode traditionnelle style, it’s dry, it’s fresh and is all around delicious. A great priced alternative to Champagne.

Cracking Alsatian Riesling from three childhood friends who grew up in the heart of Alsace. Felsa Spranger is a phrase that translates in the local German dialect to 'rock-breaker' and is used to describe bone-dry Rieslings. Fitting, too, as this Rizza is very dry, though not without lovely waves of texture and richness to offset the acidity. Stonefruit, quince, dried citrus rind and a hint of quinine with a savoury, chalky mouthfeel.

In 2012 Catherine Riss purchased 1.3 hectares and began her own domain following studies in Beaune. All farming is done to organic practices and her original hectares were certified in 2015. This Pinot Noir underwent 15 days of whole bunch maceration and 12 months in old barrels. A very pretty nose of red fruits and wisps of tobacco. A mineral core that wraps around the fruit and a very fine tannin. A wine of purity and clarity. A great wine for the decanter if drinking now.

Hailing from the mountainous region of Alsace in eastern France, Gustave Lorenz's Crustacés is a light and zesty Pinot Blanc with notes of nashi pear, mirabelle plum, and a little pithy citrus. An absolute belter for the summer dinner table!
