Description
Former social worker Lambert Spielmann has been farming just over two hectares in and around the commune of Epfig since 2017. A sensitive farmer and a meticulous winemaker, we have grown to love Lambert’s wines for their delicious and thrilling fruit, balance and precision, and harmony of texture.
This is a blend of silvaner from 60-year-old vines and gewurztraminer from 30-year-old-vines, grown on a single northeastern facing parcel planted on clay and limestone in Obernai. The gewurztraminer was destemmed before macerating in the juice of the silvaner for an extended period, yielding a direct and relatively steely wine that drinks more as a textural white than a macerated wine.
The fruit at this stage reflects the silvaner a little more than the gewurztraminer and the phenolic structure is a little grainier than in previous years. A serious and very beautifully made Alsatian wine!
