Completement Red, 2022

Pinot Noir with a bit of grip to it - crisp red fruit with a chalky edge, from a former social worker farming two hectares in Alsace with nothing added.

A whole-bunch Pinot Noir from two small sandstone parcels in Nothalten, Alsace, made by Lambert Spielmann, a former social worker who now farms about two hectares by hand. Crisp, bright red fruit with a chalky, slightly gritty grip from ten days on the skins and stems. It is pure and fresh rather than silky, and at around 12.5% it stays light on its feet. Nothing added, nothing taken out.
