Pinot Gris Domaine Mittnacht 375ml HALF BOTTLE, dry Pinot Gris, biodynamic wine, rich and complex. The Pinot Gris a Petit Grains (so called due to the very small berries) is quite rich, dry, slightly nutty and spicy, ideal for the Asian cuisine for which Christophe seems to aim his wines, (he is married to a Japanese lady after all!). The little half bottle is perfect with a light curry on a Friday when you want to keep the alcohol intake down.
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!
