| Color | Pale yellow with greenish reflections of good intensity. Brilliant, crystalline, the wine shows its absolute youthfulness. |
| Perfume | The nose is frank, pleasant, of good intensity and complex. Fruit aromas can be perceived, especially citrus, yellow lemon, white flowers, a touch of the exotic with notes of mango and ginger. While still young, it bodes well for ageing. |
| Taste | In the mouth it is full-bodied and warm. With good freshness accompanied by a nice softness. The range of aromas is marked by citrus, lemon, ginger, white peach and a fine mineral touch. A slight astringency is perceived. Long, fresh finish. |

Pairings
In the heart of Alsace, our estate thrives in Wettolsheim, ideally situated in a region with an ancient wine-making tradition. It is thanks to the union of two Alsatian winegrowing families, the Mann and the Barthelmé, that the estate has perpetuated its history for several decades. Since then, men and women from different backgrounds have contributed the stones that have consolidated our estate over the years.
Since 1997, biodynamic farming has been an obvious choice for us. This culture requires a lot of work and more investment, giving the wine its own identity as well as a pure reflection of the terroir. Thanks to these biodynamic preparations, we encourage the organic life of the soil and the development of mycorrhizae present on the roots of the vine. So many factors that allow us to bring the quintessence of the terroir to the wine.
Moreover, by juggling ploughing and plant cover, we also manage to get the roots down deep to capture the minerals from the degradation of the mother rock. Read more
