Description
WINEMAKER: André Rohrer
REGION: Alsace, FR
VARIETAL: Pinot Gris
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
This is 100% pinot gris, destemmed before the intact berries are immersed in the juice of direct pressing, followed by 15 day maceration. Aged on lees in old barrels. Sans sulphur. Grapefruit, pear, red berries, a lick of spice and salty minerality. Fans of Jean-Marc Dreyer will enjoy these wines.
Domaine André Rohrer is based in Mittelbergheim, in the northern part of Alsace region and is run by young and talented Ludovic Rohrer. The Rohrer family have been making wine in the region for eight generations. Today they farm organically and biodynamically across eight hectares of vines including 0.18 hectares in the Grand Cru Zotzenberg.
The Rohrer family became early adopters of sustainable and organic farming methods. In the 1960s Ludovic’s grandfather had already stopped the use of herbicide and encouraged herbs to grow between the vines. In the 1980s they ceased the use of all chemical pesticides and finally in 2001, André started the conversion of the Domaine towards organic certification. Today they are certified both organic and biodynamic.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
