Domaine Marc Kreydenweiss Clos du Val d’Eleon Riesling, Pinot Gris 2019

The Domaine Marc Kreydenweiss produces biodynamic wines in Alsace and in the Rhone Valley. The winery has been certified since 1989. Today, Kreydenweiss farms a little less than 30 acres of vineyards in Alsace, which includes portions of 3 Grand Cru vineyards: Kastelberg, Moenchberg, and Weibelsberg. Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc vines dominate the plantings, but Kreydenweiss has other varieties planted, including a small plot of Chardonnay.

Antoine Kreydenweiss’s single-vineyard complementation of Riesling and Pinot Gris. A savoury and richly textured wine that starts creamy and oxidative before it explodes with bright citric energy. Fiercely mineral on the palate, with riveting linear acidity that loves to cut through fatty pork belly (served with baked apple?) and birds or seafood served in a creamy sauce.
