Auxerrois and Riesling from Mittelbergheim, Alsace, France.

Fresh • crispy • lively • in a 1 litre bottle!

This vibrant blend of Auxerrois and Riesling offers a bright, saline lift with gorgeous concentration. Fermented slowly with native yeasts in large, traditional foudres, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity, resulting in a relaxed, fleshy mouthfeel. It is a stunning, easy-drinking white that manages to be both deeply satisfying and utterly refreshing.

Domaine Rietsch is nestled in Mittelbergheim, one of Alsace’s most picturesque villages, with roots in farming that trace back to the 17th century. The family shifted its focus to viticulture in the 1970s, and today, Jean-Pierre Rietsch, alongside his wife Sophie, manages the estate. Their philosophy is centred on trust in the raw material: a commitment to gentle extraction, natural, slow fermentation, and minimal intervention in the cellar. Jean-Pierre is a champion of expressing the pure terroir of the region’s indigenous grapes, ensuring their wines are fluid, balanced, and a true reflection of their unique chalky-white and sandstone soils.
