Land of Stars - Riesling 2016 - Domaine Mittnacht
It is at the foot of the fortified church of Hunawihr, that for three generations, the family Mittnacht elaborates wines of high expression. Marc, creator of the wine and son of André, and Christophe, commercial and son of Louis, have since 1995 given a new impetus to the company. The two cousins ??have been conducting their vineyards in respect of the environment for several years. No synthetic products in the vineyard, a great respect for the natural cycle of the vine and its soil, harvesting and sorting entirely manual, a minimum of interventions in the cellar and no use of oenological products (apart from a minimum of sulfur) in order to better respect the quality of the grapes. This philosophy pushes them naturally to engage their domain, since 1999, in the biological and biodynamic culture, the one that respects the environment, the health of the consumers and especially the personality and the identity of the wines coming from the great Appellations of Origin Controlled. This approach is certified by Ecocert and Demeter, certification bodies approved by the French Ministry of Agriculture. The wines of Marc and Christophe Mittnacht are regularly cited in reference guides and magazines - the Guide Hachette of the Wines of France, The review of the Wines of France, Cooking and Wines of France, Gault Millau, Wine magazine, Johnson, Decanter ...
