About the Wine
A moreish blend of Gewürztraminer and Riesling an inviting outsized litre-bottle format. Aromatic and textured with plenty of palate cleansing acidity, one to crack open with friends and watch the bottle empty before your eyes.
A blend of three-parts Gewürztraminer to one-part Riesling. The tank was filled with a mix of whole-bunch and de-stemmed fruit, where the grapes macerate for two and a half weeks before a short élevage in stainless steel. The wine was then bottled into litre bottles - the outsized bottles always indicate to us that the juice inside was designed to be knocked back with abandon! The two varieties work together with ease, with aromatic and rich fruit shining from the Gewürztraminer, while the Riesling provides lift, citrus and a tight coil of acidity on the finish. Yum.
About Christophe Lindenlaub
The Lindenlaub family has a long history in the town of Dorlisheim, having made wine in the region for over 200 years. Today the work is led by Christophe, who has forged a new path for the domaine with the goal to produce high quality wines which truly reflect the land from which they come.
The vineyards consist mainly of clay and limestone soil, some with a sandstone sub-layer, with vines mostly aged between 30 and 60 years. With the aim to work with the utmost respect to nature, Christophe embraced organic farming in 2009 and achieved certification in 2012. Beyond growing healthy organic grapes, Christophe moved away from any chemical interventions in the cellar and is now producing some of the most standout zero-addition wines in the region. For the most part, Christophe uses stainless steel for élevage in order to further define the freshness and precision in the wines. The wines are lively, pure and brimming with energy. They have their own unique character, with Christophe’s trademark zing of acidity and backbone of saline minerality.
