Alsace Riesling Les Fossiles Domaine Mittnacht 2017 375ml HALF BOTTLE

Riesling Les Fossiles Domaine Mittnacht, HALF BOTTLE Biodynamic wine, dry Riesling, steely minerality, crisp and zippy. The Riesling Les Fossiles is vinified in cement and wood, is precise aromatically classic, with a healthy whiff of petroleum and racy acidity. Another excellent wine for the half bottle, very versatile for food and also a great aperitif, a glass each.

Christophe Mittnacht and his cousin Marc run this 23 hectare farm based around Hunawihr and Ribeauvillé according to biodynamic principals, and are now fully converted and certified by Demeter. Production is around 145000 bottles a year across numerous cuvee and several Grand Cru wines. Their sons too are now involved to carry on the tradition. They use wild yeasts, have farmed organically since 99 and biodynamically since 2003 and limit interventions in the cellar. The wines tend towards the drier style and all have great definition and purity and also excellent prices!
