Background

Jean-Luc et Anne Mader took over the estate in 1981 and being convinced that the best wine originates in the vineyard and the terroir that they are in, they converted to fully organic practices. No chemicals are used, only natural products.

Tasting notes

Round and supple in texture, with wonderfully precise flavour. Great concentration and depth with a little residual sweetness in this ripe vintage. The rich texture and cleansing acid balance gives this wine great appeal.

Winemaking

Hand harvested grapes, pressed whole in a pneumatic press. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks starts at low temperatures, and sometimes lasts until March. This is followed by ageing on fine or total lees until the first filtration, which generally takes place in April.

Food pairings

Matches well with oriental cuisine and spicy dishes.
