Pinot Boir Rouge 2018 Domaine Marc Kreydenweiss
The 2018 Pinot Boir Rouge is a red wine from Alsace produced using natural methods by Domaine Marc Kreydenweiss. The winery is now run by Antonie, son of Marc Kreydenweiss, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture who has passed on to his son the same passion for wine and respect for the terroir, giving birth to wild, immediate and savoury red and white wines.
It is made from Pinot Noir grapes, produced according to biodynamic farming principles from stony soils composed mainly of quartz, based on a ferruginous and alluvial clay subsoil. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermentation takes place whole cluster with indigenous yeasts in old Alsatian foudre, bottled without filtration with a minimum of added sulphites.
A pleasant and drinkable Pinot Noir with a lovely ruby red colour that fills the glass, expressing a bouquet of snappy fruit on the nose together with notes of black tea and wet earth. A balanced and enveloping sip, juicy and energetic.
