Textured, mineral Riesling from the border of Germany and Alsace — 26 hours of whole-cluster semi-carbonic maceration before pressing, 15 months in old oak. Something between a white and an orange that doesn’t need to pick a side.

Riesling • Baden / Alsace border • Semi-carbonic • Old oak • 444 bottles

Emilie and Robrecht source Riesling from limestone and granite soils near Mannheim — where the warmer German climate meets the northern edge of Alsace. After harvest, the grapes go into whole-cluster semi-carbonic maceration for 26 hours before crushing and pressing, giving the wine a subtle texture and aromatic complexity without turning it orange. The juice moves straight into 220-litre barrels with no débourbage for fermentation and 15 months of ageing, then rested in bottle for a few more months before release. No additives, nothing stripped out.

Mineral, rich, and a little unexpected for Riesling.
