Description
A limited and very special bottling from the 2018 harvest at Domaine in Black, this comes from silvaner which was lightly macerated before being aged under flor in barrel for a number of years, resulting in an oxidative wine which today is rich and deep with gorgeous primary stone fruit flavours layered with saline, nutty nuance and fresh, flor-derived acidity — similar in style to a vin jaune albeit with more freshness, a touch less richness and more youthful fruit.
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.
Only 12 bottles of this have come into the country (with a couple having already found new homes) so we advise haste for those are keen to reserve a bottle.
