Produced from organically grown grapes from an excellent grower in Alsace, who cannot be named.
The grapes are crushed and macerated on their skins for a week before being pressed for aging in a neutral 600L barrel for about a year.
This wine was vinified and aged without sulfur, though a slight addition was made at bottling.
Classic Dodane texture of bright, puckered but juicy up front fruit held together with an elegant layered mineral texture. It’s tough to say whether this wine feels more like a Jura wine made in Alsace or and Alsatian wine made in the Jura, but the results are delicious and delightfully intriguing.
