Wine Description (From Importer): This dry, mineral-driven Crémant is made from biodynamically grown grapes from the rolling hillsides around the village of Riquewihr. It shows a chiseled quality to its flavors of lemon confit, crushed rocks, white flowers, and tangerine. The wine shows beautiful lift and grace.
About the Winery (From Importer): Founded in 1958, Domaine Mittnacht is a family-run estate led by the charming couple of Christophe and Yuka Mittnacht. They farm some of the finest vineyards around the town of Hunawihr, where Christophe was an early pioneer of the biodynamic movement, believing that biologically complex, complete soils are essential for producing elegant and terroir driven wines. The domaine was officially certified biodynamic in 1999 – one of the very first in all of Alsace. The old vines holdings include the Grand Cru Rosacker (where the fabled Clos-St.-Hune is located), as well as excellent sites between Ribeauville and Riquewihr. Christophe believes in minimal intervention and letting the soil sing using neutral wood and tank to deliver spot-on, expressive and beautifully delicate wines.
