Pinot Noir 'Nature' Rieffel 2022
Artisanal
Organic and biodynamicThe Pinot Noir "Nature" by Rieffel is an Alsatian red made from biodynamically grown Pinot Noir grapes, produced with indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention. A drinkable and fragrant version, subjected to a semi-carbonic maceration to extract fresh fruity notes: raspberries, cherries, flowers macerated with hints of champignon mushroom on the finish. Very fresh and aromatic on the palate, it presents a slight rusticity that highlights its artisanal nature, very pleasant thanks to its pronounced drinkability. A great glou-glou!
The Pinot Noir "Nature" from Domaine Rieffel is an interesting interpretation of the noble Burgundy grape variety, characterized by fruity fragrance and immediate, clear expressive pleasantness. Until a few decades ago, red grape varieties often struggled to ripen perfectly in Alsace, but the effects of climate change have modified the microclimate of the region. The current warmer temperatures favor excellent ripening and the possibility of offering wines with crunchy and ripe fruit, always supported by the typical freshness of the territory.
The "Nature" Pinot Noir from Domaine Rieffel is an excellent wine produced in Alsace, the French region bordering Germany. The area, thanks to the protection of the Vosges mountain range and very suitable soils, has been a land of great wines for centuries. The Pinot Noir grapes come from the estate's vineyards cultivated in sunny hillside exposures, characterized by the presence of clay and sandy soils, particularly suitable for red grape varieties. The best bunches are initiated into vinification, which involves a partial carbonic maceration and spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and classic skin maceration. A choice inspired by the tradition of Beaujolais, which gives the wine very intense fruity aromas and particularly delicate and subtle tannins. The wine matures for 9 months in used barriques, so as not to acquire woody aromas.
The Pinot Noir "Nature" from Domaine Rieffel is the ideal bottle to uncork when you want to drink a good red fresh and smooth, simple and satisfying. Its particular characteristics also allow it to be enjoyed at a temperature of 14 °C, to accompany summer lunches with a convivial character. Its color is a beautiful bright ruby red. The bouquet is distinguished by an exuberant fragrance, characterized by notes of raspberry, sour cherry, red currant, wild strawberries, floral nuances, and herbal hints. The crunchy, harmonious sip with very fine tannins is an invitation to drink a second glass. The finish is lively, savory, and very fresh.
