Pierre Frick Physalis Pinot Noir 2024

Based in the village of Pfaffenheim, Pierre Frick and his family have been crafting wines that embody the unique terroir of Alsace while adhering to the highest standards of sustainability and environmental stewardship.
The Frick family has been farming in Alsace for generations, but it was Pierre Frick who, in the late 1970s, made the decisive shift towards organic viticulture, and later, biodynamic practices. The estate spans around 12 hectares, planted with the classic Alsatian varietals, including Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Sylvaner. These vineyards, some of which are located in prestigious Grand Cru sites, are cultivated without synthetic chemicals, using composts, cover crops, and preparations that enhance the health and vitality of the soil and vines.

Alsace, located in northeastern France along the Rhine River, is renowned for its exceptional white wines and picturesque vineyards. It benefits from a unique microclimate, with long, dry growing seasons and diverse soils, ideal for viticulture. It is particularly famous for its aromatic white wines, including Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris, which are celebrated for their purity, vibrant acidity, and expressive aromas. The area also produces excellent Crémant d'Alsace, a sparkling wine made using traditional methods. Alsace wines are typically varietally labeled and known for their elegance and ability to age gracefully. With its charming villages, scenic landscapes, and rich winemaking heritage, Alsace offers a captivating experience for wine enthusiasts seeking high-quality and distinctive wines.
