The Rietsch family has been making wine in Mittelbergheim, Alsace, since the 17th century. Now run by husband and wife Jean-Pierre and Sophie Rietsch, the approach is natural, with an intense focus on healthy soil, vines and grapes enabling them to produce wines without pesticides, herbicides or sulphur. Over the last 10 years the domaine has become particularly renowned for long maceration orange wines made from traditional Alsace varieties though the direct press whites and Pinot are also exceptional.

Made with a an equal blend of hand-harvested Pinot Noir, Gewurtztraminer and Riesling, macerated separately for 10-14 days (whole bunch infusion). After assembling in equal parts, the wine is aged on the lees in vat for 8 months before bottling.
