2022 Kleinknecht Vieilles Vignes Pinot Blanc
WINEMAKER: Andre & Isabelle Kleinknecht
REGION: Alsace, FR
VARIETY: Pinot Blanc
VITICULTURE: Certified Biodynamic
In the village of Mittelbergheim, 20 minutes south of Strasbourg you will find 20 winemaking families, from a population of less than 1000 people. The vast majority farm organically and biodynamicly, a community of the Alsacian "Less is more movement". Andre Kleinknecht was the first to adopt this methodology back in 1998, with guidance from Jean-Pierre Frick and Patrick Meyer. He converted from organic to Biodynamic in 2012 and was certified by Demeter in 2014.
