{"product_id":"weinbach-alsace-altenbourg-pinot-noir-2022","title":"Weinbach Alsace Altenbourg Pinot Noir 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeinbach Alsace Altenbourg Pinot Noir is a biodynamically grown Alsace red from limestone soils, planted with mass selections taken from the Clos des Epeneaux in Pommard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAltenbourg lies east of the Schlossberg grand cru and just below Furstentum, on limestone with rich clays, and it is warm enough to ripen Pinot Noir properly in a region long dominated by white varieties. Domaine Weinbach farms it biodynamically, at a density of 10,000 vines per hectare, using cuttings sourced from the Clos des Epeneaux in Pommard rather than commercial clones. Eddy Faller describes the Altenbourg wine as having a velvetier structure than the Pinot Noir grown on Schlossberg granite. Winemaking is kept almost identical across the two bottlings so that the difference between them is a matter of site: a ten-day cold soak, up to two weeks on skins, partial whole-bunch fermentation and extended ageing in predominantly old oak, with new wood kept to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking well from release and worth five to eight years in bottle. Serve at 16-18°C with roast pork, coq au Riesling or mushroom tart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
