In the glass

Two Alsace grapes from one old vineyard, one soaked in the other for six months. It drinks like a crisp white with a bit of grip, not the perfumed Gewurztraminer people brace for.

Old-vine Silvaner from a single vineyard in Obernai, Alsace, with Gewurztraminer from the same plot soaked in its juice for about six months. It drinks as a crisp, fairly steely white with a fine, grainy grip, not as a heavy orange wine or a perfumed Gewurztraminer. The Silvaner leads the fruit for now. Nothing is filtered out and no sulphur is added.
