REGION: ALSACE, FRANCE
Producer:
When David Koeberle gained ownership over his family estate in partnership with his mother Annie Koeberlé, he initiated a progressive approach to vinifying and bottling all of their own grape production in tandem with a clear shift in regenerative agriculture and experimental vinification that would change their farm forever. Despite the farm undergoing a long and colorful metamorphosis, David still sought to maintain his great grandfather Eugene Muller’s perpetual focus on and fascination with their heirloom “cru” vineyard, the ‘Clos des Aubépines.’ Today he makes wine with his partner Mariane and they are one of the most progressive winemakers in France.
Vinification Method: Five days maceration and fermentation in steel tanks, then finishes aging one year in a foudre. Grapes are rom a nearby Grand Cru characterized by pink sandstone in the soils. The vineyards location has limited rainfall and promotes early ripening and perfect maturity almost every year. Unfined, unfiltered, undisgorged, no added S02.
Tasting notes: medium bodied, peach roses, lychee, lime, thyme
Mix & match 3, 6, or 12 bottles!
