Gourmand and fruity!
Presentation
The vintage
Strength and determination: two words that describe the 2022 Alsace growing season perfectly. Challenges included heavy frost during spring, hailstorms in June and severe drought in the summer. The talents of our vineyard team paid off and we harvested perfect grapes beginning August 26. In the cellar, the vintage is promising. The wines have lovely acidities, intense aromas and the beautiful typicity of their terroir.

Winemaking
Harvested at perfect ripeness, our Pinot Noir grapes are destemmed immediately then cold macerated for a few days. The first juices and the end of each press are kept separately after fermenting for about 10 days.

The final Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes blend is 30% 2-year-old oak barrel and 70% stainless steel tanks. The wine was bottled in late September.

The robe is intense ruby red. Subtle blackcurrant and blueberry notes are followed by a palate of fruity smooth tannins. Excellent with red meats and cheese.
Reviews
"Elegant with juicy raspberry, cherry and rose flavors that mingle with blood orange acidity, and hints of cardamom. The structure is firm, yet graceful, with a silky texture that adds to the overall pleasure. Lingers with elegance. "
"Alsace-huset Sipp Mack har et stort og spændende repertoire, som denne Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes indgår i. Til min smag scorer de bedst på Riesling og Cremant, og denne Pinot Noir får mig ikke til at ændre på den opfattelse. Bevares, det er en helt fin vin, men den bliver lidt for bastant i sit udtryk, og derfor går nogle af de fine nuancer i den elegante Pinot Noir-frugt tabt undervejs."
