Description

Imagine a wine that is made from grapes that have been patiently waiting for the perfect moment to be picked. Grapes that have been carefully selected by hand, one by one, to create a wine that is nothing short of liquid gold. This is Vendage Tardives, a late-harvest wine that is a true delight for the senses. It has a complex and enticing aroma of honey, spice, ripe citrus and tropical fruit. It has a rich and thick texture that coats your mouth with delicious sweetness. It is a wine that can complement any dessert, foie gras or cheese or be enjoyed on its own as a special treat. This Gewurztraminer is a rare and exquisite example of what nature can produce when given enough time and care.

Domaine Christophe Mittnacht

Domaine Christophe Mittnacht is a biodynamic winery in Hunawihr, Alsace, dedicated to producing pure, terroir-driven wines. Established in 1963, the estate follows biodynamic principles, avoiding synthetic chemicals and prioritizing vineyard biodiversity. Their vineyards, spread across Grand Cru Rosacker and other prime Alsace sites, produce Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir, showcasing mineral precision and aromatic intensity.

In the cellar, they use natural fermentations with indigenous yeasts and minimal sulfur, ensuring authenticity. Wines are vinified in stainless steel or old oak vats to preserve varietal character. The result is a lineup of vibrant, expressive wines with freshness, elegance, and a clear sense of place. Christophe Mittnacht’s commitment to sustainability and low-intervention winemaking makes them a benchmark for modern Alsace wines.
