Wine Box of 3 white wine

Riesling Tradition 2018

Vinified in steel, the nose is bewitching, aromatic with citrus hints, especially lemon and puffs of red apple and pear. Consistent in the mouth where a universe of citrus fruits and mineral notes unfolds. Long and clean finish, slightly spicy.

Riesling Cuvee Albert 2017

Of such an important complexity that it recalls a great white Burgundy. A riot of fruit on the nose, starting with green apple and yellow flowers, then exploding with grapefruit and lime. In the background hydrocarbons, ginger and finally mint. When tasted it is ultra elegant, mineral, with excellent freshness and a very persistent finish.

Riesling Rosenberg 2016

Pleasant white and yellow floral notes are a prelude to rich citrus scents, lemon, lime and grapefruit on the shields. Hydrocarbon puffs and pine woods close a complex nose. In the mouth it has structure and power, fresh, still able to evolve. Long and savory finish.

Wettolsheim, Alsace (France)
The Domaine Albert Mann is located in Wettolsheim, a small village located in the heart of Alsace, 2 km west of
Colmar.

Domaine Albert Mann is the result of the work of two great families of winemakers. The Manns, winemakers
since the beginning of the 17th century and the Barthelmés, the current owners, since 1654.

Today the two brothers, Maurice and Jacky Barthelmé, together with their wives, Marie-Claire and Marie-Thérèse, manage the family estate.
The vineyards cover an area of ​​23 hectares and are spread over 8 municipalities, divided into more than one hundred small parcels.
The company owns 5 Grands Crus, 2 Lieu-dits and 1 Monopole ‘Clos de la Faille’.

The variety of landscapes in Alsace where mountains, hills and plains alternate are the consequence of a great diversity of rocks that make up the subsoil. All this contributes to the complexity of the wines. The silica gives liveliness, the clay absorbs the minerals brings power, the limestone brings opulence and the mulleux, the marl, colder soils, preserve the acidity.

The company philosophy is to make a wine nourished by the elements of the soil and not by fertilizers. The will of the Domaine is to produce a wine in harmony with nature by practicing agriculture whose purpose is not to exploit, but to strengthen the vitality of the soil.

‘Wine is the memory of the grapes, it is the only way to communicate the taste of the earth’. To best express the originality of the place, replanting is practiced with mass selection (selection of old plants in order to maintain biodiversity), natural grassing, one row every two. The other row is worked in order to encourage deep rooting of the plants and some terraced plots are worked with horses. Natural composts are ‘homemade’ and are made to stimulate the bacterial microflora of the soil which is essential for
Humus formation and assimilation of subsoil minerals.

The harvest is carried out manually, when the skins and seeds reach maturity, in order to respect the grapes which arrive whole in the pneumatic presses.

A slow extraction allows you to have clear and healthy musts that do not require any addition of oenological products with the exception of sulphur, which is used in minimal doses.

After fermentation lasting several months, the wines remain in contact with their yeasts which nourish them and at the same time stabilize them naturally. The wines are bottled when they are considered ready and always on a waning moon in order to preserve the fruit. The wines have been certified organic since 2000, but the company has been around since 1997
conducted in biodynamics.
