Alsace's elegant yet crisp style is sublime, so we had no choice but to succumb to the charm of Terres d'Etoiles Riesling by Domaine Christophe Mittnacht. With bone-crushing acidity and impressive concentration, it automatically enters the "Must Taste Wines of the Year!
The winery was established in 1963 and they have vineyards in the finest sites of Hunawihr, Ribeauvillé and Mittelwihr. Family's passion for their land and wine led to biodynamic cultivation in 1999 and thus became one of Alsace's first certified biodynamic wineries. Christophe is married to Yuka, a well-known Japanese chef and this has somehow influenced the style of his wines making them super gastronomical. His wines are characterized by fruit purity, their sharp acidity and their strong mineral character.
Terres d'Etoiles is a Riesling designed to take you to the stars, as its name implies.
Taste it and you will understand what we mean!
