Les Vins Pirouettes "Eros de Vincent" Vin d'Alsace, France 2022

A blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Sylvaner

Cultivated and vinified by Vincent Gross, Domaine Gross, Gueberschwihr. The vines are 18 years old, on limestone and sandstone. The vineyard has been organic since 2011.

Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted in the vineyards, destemmed, and fermented on skins for 25 days, resulting in orange wine. Elevage on the fine lees for 8 months in foudre. Zero addition of sulfur, unfined and unfiltered.

“I loved making this skinsy Alsatian amber,” confesses the winemaker. Judging from the speed with which this wine sells out every time we get some, everybody else loves drinking it.
