Serious Grand Cru Riesling from this singular producer. A high-wire balance of fleshy, rounded texture cut through with a soaring acidity that leaves a long, lingering ripple of electricity in the finish. Find out more.
About the Wine
Yann’s macerated Riesling. Grippy and pithy with a gentle ginger spice and well-balanced bitterness. Hand-harvested grapes are de-stemmed and macerated on the skins gently for 3 weeks. Ageing takes place in a mixture of stainless steel and old oak. There is a softness here thanks to both the sandstone soils and gentle extraction in the cellar. The balance is on point here, with bitter citrus, spice and soft floral notes woven together with ease. A joy as always, landing just in time for those alfresco drinks.
About Domaine Durrmann
The Durrmann family had made wine for generations as small farmers. Grandad had moved away from farming to become a shoemaker but still kept a few vines on the side. André decided to move back to farming in 1979 and pieced the domaine together from abandoned vineyard sites that were hard to work and no longer commercially viable. Son Yann has worked in the domaine since he was a child and officially took over the business a year ago. André was among the first wave of organic winemakers in Alsace, converting in 1998. Yann has taken this a step further applying a more natural approach in the cellar.
