Description

100% Riesling from Wolxheim by Maison Lissner. Light golden yellow in colour rich aromas of yellow fruit, citrus and soft herbs. Salty and yet earthy in tone. Young, fleshy, mineral, fresh and lively. You can't compete with that. A wine that should preferably be opened in advance to also let the slightly smoky tones and complexity speak beautifully. The kind of Riesling that we are very happy with in any case and that could also lie for a while. Very tasty with coucroute and smoked fish.

About 20 kilometers from Staatsburg, in the small village of Wolxheim, you will find Domaine Lissner. The history of the estate goes back to 1848, but the house has only been fully independent since the 1930s. In 2001, former agronomist and scientist Bruno Schloegel took over the estate from his uncle at the age of 40 Clément Lissner. Funny enough, Bruno didn't drink wine until he was 34. Bruno's son Theo soon joined his father and breathed new life into the estate.

On 10 ha, of which more than 1 ha. Grand Cru Altenberg de Wolxheim, mainly Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurtztraminer, Muscat, Auxerois are grown. Completely biodynamic (since 2007 it has carried the Ecocert-bio label), with the greatest respect for flora and fauna and the preservation of a very diverse biodiversity, the house works purely natural. They do not plough, mow or prune the vines, but only move the new shoots in the summer to let nature take its own course. They even plant new vines straight into the wild, albeit without pre-treating or pruning the land.

In their beautiful, brand new wine cellar just outside the village, the grapes go through cold, slow fermentation periods, very slow pressings and they ripen sur-lies. This results in intense, salty and powerful wines, pure terroir wines. Wines that can easily lie for many, many years and only become more beautiful. Completely natural and yet sparkling clean. That's how it can be done. Alsace wines from Lissner that put Alsace and thus Wolxheim, firmly on the map. For those who love classic and a wild edge.
