Description

‘Gyotaku’ is no ordinary Alsace white. Named after the Japanese art of fish printing, it was designed with food pairing in mind, especially with sushi, seafood, and delicately spiced dishes. Crafted by the biodynamic pioneers at Domaine Christophe Mittnacht, this is a wine where intention meets precision.

Blend of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, and Gewürztraminer, each contributing its own nuance. Riesling gives tension and citrus bite, Muscat offers floral lift, Pinot Blanc rounds it out with softness, and Gewürz adds an aromatic whisper of spice. The result? A dry, finely balanced white that dances between freshness and complexity.

A go-to match for sushi, sashimi, ceviche, Thai dishes, or anything with umami and finesse. It’s a white with soul, crafted not just to sip, but to savour alongside great cooking.
