About the Wine

Wonderful Alsatian Muscat from a producer we associate with a clean-cut precision. A 10-day whole-bunch maceration this year, proving very fine and delicate rather than overbearing, Rietsch long-since having understood the best way to work with his aromatic varieties. Bags of lime and grapefruit citrus with a chalky, mineral undertow and delicate floral perfume. Low finished alcohol gives this wine a lifted quality. Absolutely delicious.

About Domaine Rietsch

The Rietsch estate has been in the family for seven generations and the land was previously used for tobacco and crops. It was Jean-Pierre's parents who started cultivating vines in 1970s, and handed on to Jean-Pierre in 1987. Although Jean-Pierre is now retired, he still contributes to daily runnings and is assisted by Pierre-Etienne Grieshaber. Le Main Verte is another contributing company, and coordinate the manual work in the vineyards yet the domaine is still very much driven by a family-led culture. The vineyard is naturally cultivated, with terroir at the heart of the operation and no use of chemicals.

Quand Le Chat 2022

From two parcels, one over grés in Mutzig, another on clay-limestone back home in Mittelbergheim. A 14-day infusion-style maceration of whole bunches dropped into direct-pressed juice, leaving a wine with an intriguing peachy purple-tinged hue and with a herbal tea-like quality. Find out more.

Vielle Vigne Sylvaner 2019

It's pleasing to see the often overlooked or blended Alsatian varietal Sylvaner here taking centre stage and showing what it can be capable of when harvested from older vines. There is a soaring acidity and a cut glass quality, impeccably crystalline fruits and a tension that binds it all together. Find out more.
