Domaine Albert Mann, Riesling Cuvée Albert, Alsace, France, 2022

Producer Profile

This domaine is an amalgamation of two great winemaking families – the Manns (winemakers since the 17th century) and the Barthelmés (winemakers since 1654) who are the current owners.

Located in Wettolsheim, in the heart of Alsace, the estate is ideally placed to produce wine of the highest quality from vineyards that include some of the regions most iconic crus. Biodynamic since 1997, the work and investment put in by this winery has given its wines their own unique identity.

Viticulture

From a selection of 35+ year old vines on gravel, clay-limestone and granite soils.

Winemaking

Fermentation and maturation take several months, during which time the wine is in contact with its lees.

Tasting Note

The nose is bursting with fruit, a promenade for the senses. Aeration amplifies the fruity character of tangerine, with a hint of lemon, and reveals a mineral note, as well as floral notes. The palate is full and delicate, with fine acidity. A beautifully pure, saline wine with a vertical profile and long persistence. A well-structured silhouette, supported by lovely fruit that finishes on a salivating finish with fine bitters.

Food Matching

Excellent with Shrimp, Thai lemongrass broth and Calamari
