Description
WINEMAKER: Andre & Isabelle Kleinknecht
REGION: Alsace, FR
VARIETAL: Riesling
VITICULTURE: Certified Biodynamic
Sourced from different parcels including a portion from the granite plateau of Rebbuhl lieu-dit. Directly pressed, elevage in old foudre. Citrus zip with florals, expressive. Lime and soft talc. Citrus pith and zest weave in and out, the palate is glorious. Crisp and long. A wine of purity and freshness.
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.

SPÖN PICKS
SPÖN Bottle Shop & Wine Bar: Made for Discovery
A 50-seater wine bar; Inspired by the charming, drink-in bottle shops hidden throughout the cobblestone streets of Europe, explore a rotating world of natural, organic, rare & vintage wines, and craft beers sourced from Australia and across the globe.
Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
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.
