Pinot Noir from the Bannwarths in Obermorschwihr, Alsace. The grapes were pressed slowly overnight, left to rest outside in cuve for around six months and then transferred to old barriques for a further four and a half years of ageing, with no topping up. A blanc de noirs of sorts, here Pinot’s hallmark acidity and alluring perfume are caught up in a cascade of oxidative notes of salt, nuts and yeast, making for something thrillingly unique.
