• Other Information: Located in Alsace on an old Renaissance period farm in the center of a tiny village named Mittelbergheim lies Domaine Rietsch, the small winery ran by 7 generations of the Rietsch family. Since 1987, Jean-Pierre Rietsch has led the operation with organic methods, believing the number one principle of winemaking is to express the heart and soul of the grapes and the land that grew them. Zero synthetic chemicals are used in Rietsch’s low intervention methods. This wine is made from Pinot Noir picked from vines over 40 years old, planted on the clay-limestone terroir of Stein. Certified in organic cultivation. Harvested on September 19, 2019. Semi-carbonic maceration of 17 days on whole grapes. Fermentation from indigenous yeasts followed by 8 months aging in vats. No added sulphites.
