Bright and refreshing with a wonderful perfume balanced out by immensely satisfying fruit and lovely bubbles, all wrapped up with a palate cleansing streak of acidity. Find out more.
A thirst-quenching blend of Alsatian grape varieties including Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc, Riesling & Muscat. Pouring an inviting hazy shade of peach in the glass, the wine screams summer and simply busts with fruit, salt and flowers. A natural wine that is all about purity, balance and immense drinkability. Don’t think about it too much, this is a wine of thirst!
A take on the traditional Edelzwicker blend, all of Theo’s white grapes go into this wine, giving a real snapshot of the estate. The grapes undergo a short maceration, not so much for colour but for added texture and structure. An ideal companion for your next picnic or BBQ. Great value to be found here.
Domaine Einhart is located in Rosenwiller, a few miles from Rosheim, in the northern part of Alsace. The family have had vines in the area for the past century and the estate is now run by father and son team Nicolas and Theo.
The 10 hectares have been fully organic since 2008, and over 3 hectares have now been converted to biodynamics. The soils here are mainly clay-limestone, three prevailing different types of limestone which bear a deep imprint on the wines - shell, oolitic & dolomitic. Theo is in his early 20's but is remarkably focused, knowledgeable and passionate about his work. There is a sense of kinship with the other natural winemakers of Alsace and in this region particularly, he is able to call up Jean-Marc Dreyer, a long-time family friend and Julien Albertus of Kumpf Et Meyer, who also has bought fruit from the estate for a few years.
In the cellar Theo favours short destemmed macerations of the fruit, be it red or white grapes, any transfer of juice is done by gravity and much care is taken to limit the exposure of oxygen. The wines are unfiltered, unfined and bottled without additions.
