Mittnacht Riesling Les Fossiles 2017
Christophe Mittnacht and his cousin Marc run this 20 hectare farm based around Hunawihr and Ribeauvillé according to organic and natural principles. Although not strictly biodynamic, they use wild yeasts, farm organically and limit interventions in the cellar.

Colour

Bright straw yellow.

Bouquet

On the nose, the aromas are intense, mainly fruity.

Fish
Shellfish
Cheese
