Pouring an inviting hazy shade of peach, the wine screams summer and simply busts with fruit, salt and flowers, all purity, balance and immense drinkability. Find out more.
About the wine
Aromatic, fruit forward Alsatian fizz that pours sunset pink in the glass, falling somewhere in-between the rosé and orange natural wine world. 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.
A blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris & Gewürztraminer are given 6 days maceration on the skins then pressed off into tank. As with all pet-nats, the wine is bottled before fermentation finishes, it then completes fermentation in bottle, trapping the bubbles as they form. It's then disgorged after resting on the lees for 8 months.
About Domaine Einhart
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.
