Vin de France, Elsass, France

The grapes come from the Lieu-dit vineyard site near Heiligenstein, on limestone-rich clay and calcareous sandstone. Some of the whole bunches undergo around eleven days of skin contact and are blended with directly pressed juice. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast and ageing on the fine lees take place in older large oak casks or foudres; for the 2023 vintage, ageing lasted around eight months. The orange-coloured wine shows rose, white peach, citrus and spice, and is dry, fresh and medium-bodied, with fine tannic structure. Lightly filtered and with only minimal sulphur added before bottling.
