Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Furstentum Albert Mann 2017
The wine
This Riesling grand cru has a golden colour and rich aromatic bouquet. There are touches of citrus fruits, orange blossom and exotic fruits on the nose. Vibrant and saline, it finishes on a bitter note. Its roundness is well-balanced by a nice acidity. These two éléments allow for excellent pairings with fish or white meat in a cream sauce.
About the Producer Albert Mann
Domain Albert Mann is a historic Alsatian domain. It is the result of two families coming together: the Mann family, winemakers since the 17th century, and the Barthelmé, the current owners, winemakers since 1654. Located in Wettolsheim in the Haut-Rhin, in the heart of Alsace, the domain spans 25 hectares, a third of which are grands crus. The vineyards have been cultivated according to biodynamic principles since 1997, though certification wasn't obtained until 2010 (it gained organic certification in 2000). Meticulous work is carried out in the vineyards, with much focus on replanting vines through massal selection, so as to increase the vineyard's diversity. The parcels are tilled, and several biodynamic preparations are used. In the winery, the vinifications are ‘hands off', as the producers strive to achieve maximal finesse (limited intervention, wild yeast, no fining, etc.) . The red wines are raised in Burgundian barrels. This domain is now known as one of the finest in Alsace; its elegant, racy wines are sought after for their digestible profile, complexity and depth.
