Josmeyer Riesling Les Pierrets 2021 (1500ml)

Presentation
From the word “stone” which recalls the minerality of Riesling, pierrets or pierrots are small sparrows.

Terroir
The grapes come from two plots. A plot of old vines (50 years old) located in the Herrenweg of Wintzenheim, on gravel soils. The other plot comes from Rotenberg (north face of the Grand Cru Hengst) with a marl-limestone terroir.

In the vineyard
Since 2004, the entire vineyard has been cultivated organically and biodynamically. This other, more demanding and qualitative path allows a symbiosis between the sky, the earth, the plant and man. This close relationship between these 4 elements generates a noble grape, which, in turn, will give birth to a dense and balanced wine with a unique personality.

Vinification
Harvested by hand and pressed whole pneumatically (between 5 and 8 hours), the grapes – exclusively from organic and bio-dynamic farming – naturally transfer their aromas to the must. They ferment spontaneously without the addition of enzymes or selected yeasts, and without chaptalization. After fermentation lasting from one to four months, they are aged in century-old oak tuns until bottling.
