2022 Domaine Rene & Etienne Simonis Sylvaner Alsace, France
$23.99
From a parcel of very old vines, this is super intense and mineral driven expression of Sylvaner. Direct press, aged on the lees, and bottled without additional sulfur. Simonis. A great expression of new-wave Alsace!
100% Sylvaner (40-55 years)
Soil: Gravel
Vinification:
Grapes from a 0.60ha plot of old Sylvaner vines. Grapes picked entirely by hand. Slow pressed for 8 hours, the grapes left whole cluster and fermented with their native yeasts only in old foudre. Racked once to separate the heavy lees. The wine then ages for several months on the lees until bottling at the end of spring. Tiny dose of SO2 only when necessary.
