Description
WINEMAKER: Antoine Kreydenweiss
REGION: Alsace, FR
VARIETY: Pinot Noir
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
Umami explosion red wine. Expressive aromas of cranberry, blueberry, rhubarb, hay, and slight earthiness or smoky. On the palate, there are hints of shiitake mushroom or iodine along with stewed fruit flavor. Maceration of whole bunches for a week followed by aging in foudres for one year. Unfiltered wine, no added sulphites.
Antoine Kreydenweiss has been at the helm of this immaculate Estate since 2007. He took over from his father Marc, who headed for better climes in the Southern Rhone where he now also farms and makes wine. Marc initially converted his Alsatian vineyard to Biodynamic culture in the 1980’s, making him one of the first handful to do so in the region. Alsace is now the region with the highest proportion of Organic and Biodynamic vineyards in France, and quite likely the world.
Domaine Kreydenweiss is situated right in the heart of the town of Andlau, towards the northern end of the Alsace vineyard region. Here, the Vosges Mountains are exceptionally steep, and cascade down into the valley. Andlau is nestled right up high in the crook of the mountains. Some of the vineyards are vertiginously steep. As everywhere in Alsace, geology is a shuffled deck, each vineyard has its own mix of rocks and soils. The dominant, if we can say so, soil type here is the famous pink sandstone from the Vosges, which gives wines of power and memorable aromatics of charred ginger. But there is also quartz, granite and even blue slate.

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.
