Delicious, juicy, soft texture. Blood orange with a beautiful floral aroma. 

The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted in the vineyard. The three grapes are macerated together for 10 days. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, unsulfured in the summer following the harvest.

"Les vins pirouettes” is a collective project originally launched by christian binner, the renowned alsatian winemaker (and a part of our book, of course), who’s been making legendary zero-zero wines in his ammerschwihr winery for more than 20 years. saddened by the sight of organic and biodynamic grapes being sold for little to cooperatives, in 2008 christian decided to encourage these growers to make wine under their proper name instead, thus promoting the idea of soulful terroir wines made with zero nonsense both in the vineyard and the cellar. as of 2023, it consists of some twenty organic and biodynamic growers whose first names you’ll always find on the bottle, along with a title referring to the method (pet-nat, crémant…), cru (bildstoecklé, frankstein) or style of wine.
