Terroir

VINE AGE: 35 years old.

LOCATION: Dorfburg, adjacent to the Grand Cru Florimont.

EXPOSURE: East / South-East. Nestled against the sub-Vosgian hills (directly bordering the Grand Cru Florimont, sharing the same slope), the Dorfburg hillside catches the very first rays of the morning sun, allowing a gentle and progressive ripening of the grapes.

TERROIR : clay-limestone soil dating back to the LOWER TOARCIAN, composed of a thick layer of dark grey shales (6 to 8m), interspersed with thin, hard limestone layers.

Viticulture & Vinification

HARVEST: manual.

YIELD: N/A.

SORTING: at the winery.

VINIFICATION: The grapes are vinified all together. After a total destemming, the whole berries macerate in fiberglass tanks for 10 days, during which alcoholic fermentation starts spontaneously using indigenous yeasts. The must is then pressed. Free-run and press juices are blended into large oak casks for ageing.

AGEING: 6 months in large oak casks.

BOTTLING: without fining or filtration.

CLOSURE: natural cork

NOTE: EVIDENCE is a skin-contact maceration wine bottled without filtration. It may therefore show a slight cloudiness in the glass. It should not be exposed to heat and must be stored in a cool cellar.

Sommelier's Note

"A lovely maceration wine, well-crafted and generous, featuring aromas of candied mirabelle plum, raisin, and quince paste. Light, tonic, and fresh on the palate, this orange wine is highly original and a wonderful discovery!"
