Pinot Noir Alsace Tradition Organic, Emile Beyer

Pinot Noir is the only red grape variety authorised in Alsace; here, in the relatively dry climate to the east of the Vosges Mountains it produces light, fruit-led red wines. The grapes, from plots on limestone soils, are de-stemmed and fermented with native yeasts. Maceration lasts two weeks and regular pumping over to extract compounds from the skins takes place. The malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel, and the wine is aged on the fine lees for about a year. Light and refreshing it shows bright, red fruit flavours.

About the Wine

Pinot Noir

Pee-noe Nwahr

A temperamental thin skinned grape and difficult to grow, when produced of any quality it demands high prices. The thin skin means it's very light in colour body and tannin, it characteristically has searing acidity and full lingering flavours of raspberry, strawberry, cherry, violets and sweet spice.

Flavours:

Cherry
Mushroom
Raspberry
Vanilla
Violet

The Country

France

Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
