Description:
Josmeyer have 28 ha of vines, all farmed biodynamically. Fine aroma that is intensely bright lime fruited and just starting to show some tertiary mineral quality. Intense lime purity. Rich, mostly dry but with a richer texture thanks perhaps to that low-level residual sugar (8 g/l). Just a hint of honey but still so young. Power and finesse.
Winery:
There are very few estates in Alsace that produce consistently high quality wine like Domaine Josmeyer. Located next to the beautiful town of Colmar, the family wine adventure began already back in 1854, and they have been producing stunning white wines ever since. All of the estate’s vineyards are cultivated according to biodynamic principles, including the Grand Cru vineyards Hengst and Brand. Jean Meyer, owner of Josmeyer, views winemaking as a form of art, which becomes evident in the design of the unique labels, created by local artists for Josmeyer and an expression of the wines. Typical for Alsace and the terrior, Josmeyer produces stunning Riesling, world-class Gewurztraminer and Pinot Blanc.
