This time Cuvée Alanna takes the form of a Riesling!
This wine is very near and dear to Alannas heart <3
A single vineyard Riesling which was inspired by a visit in March 2021 to Yann Durrmann in Alsace, specifically his Grand Cru Kastelberg vineyard. Alanna was really inspired by Rieslings from really sour soils, and wanted to both express and experience this with this one vineyard they have (which had previously been harvested and blended into the Weiss), and voila!
Cuvée Alanna Riesling was born.
This was the last vineyard Marto & Alanna harvested, and they were super blessed with absolutely perfect fruit, with both high sugar and high acidity. In the end, what we have is a beautiful expression of a sour soil Riesling with insanely high acidity. Alanna recommends keeping it in the cellar for a few years for optimal drinking enjoyment. Topped up barrels, and perfect fruit, the wine is insanely stable.
