Domaine Albert Mann is the result of the union of two great families of winegrowers: the Manns, winegrowers since the beginning of the 17th century and the Barthelmé, the current owners, winegrowers since 1654. Albert Mann They are rated both by Wine Advocate and Vinous in the top tier of Alsace producers. They have been a biodynamic producer since 1997.

This beautiful wine from the Grand Cru Wineck-Schlossberg vineyard has impressive freshness, complexity, and compact acidity with a powerful yet supple body and fine, steely minerality on the finish. There is great precision on the pure, dry palate which provides flavors of lemon, peach, apricot, violets, and tangerine with the slightest hint of petrol. An aperitif wine and to accompany a meal, perfect with roasted poultry (guinea fowl, roasted chicken), veal loin, fish, fresh goat's and ewe's cheeses. Its potential for aging will be up to 10 years.

Alsatian wine

Alsace is a unique wine region in North Eastern France, bordering Germany and having also been under German control for much of its existence. Due to this influence, unlike other French regions, wines from Alsace are mostly single varietal bottlings and are also labelled with the variety. They also are legally required to use a tall slimmer bottle called flûtes d'Alsace, that is also commonly seen with German wines.

Almost all the wine produced in the region is white (90%) except for Pinot Noir which is used mainly for sparkling wine. Alsace is most known for its Riesling, which is dry, fresh and floral in its youth but develops complex mineral and flint character with age. Following behind is Gewurztraminer with signature spice and beautiful lychee aromatics. The smell of this wine is intoxicating, it is used to make dry but also late harvest dessert wines. Pinot Gris is also a prized variety of the region with its combination of crisp acidity and savory spice as well as ripe stone fruit flavours.

In Autumn humidity builds up to facilitate the development of “noble rot” to produce late-picked sweet wines. In Alsace there are two classifications for late harvest wines: Vendange Tardive (VT) and Sélection de Grains Nobles (SGN). VT for regular late harvest wines and SGN meaning grapes affected by noble rot.

Other varieties grown here include Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Auxerrois, Chasselas and Sylvaner.
