Domaine Barmes Buecher Rosenberg Vieilles Vignes Sylvaner 2021

$69.00 inc. GST

The Rosenberg vineyard is situated in Wettolsheim on a hillside with diverse geological characteristics and clay-limestone and sandstone soils. Their vineyard parcels are mainly east and north facing and planted on rich soils where the vines flourish. The wine produced here is ripe, round and elegant. Its distinctive characteristics will improve with bottle ageing. A Sylvaner that shines with great precision. Mineral, stony on the nose, accompanied by red apple. On the palate it is fresh with spicy minerality. A long, precise finish completes the complex impression.

Description

Domaine Barmès-Buecher, located in the heart of the Alsace region, just a few kilometres from Colmar and Eguisheim, was founded in 1985 by Geneviève Barmès (née Buecher) and her husband François Barmès. They combined the land holdings of their respective families, who had owned vines in Wettolsheim, one of the region’s largest wine growing towns, since the 17th century.

Geneviève and François chose to grow their vines using biodynamic practices, which places the emphasis on a respect for nature, life forces and natural cycles. The Domaine’s 15 hectares were converted to biodynamic growing in 1998 and have been certified biodynamic since the 2001 vintage.

This form of wine growing allows a closer relationship with the terroir and a better understanding of the environment surrounding the vine and the wine grower.

Domaine Barmes-Buecher Rosenberg Lieux Dits Sylvaner 2021
From fifty year old vines. Biodynamic farmed.
Has this fennel and lemon curd thing going on, tonic water too, a lick of cucumber in the mix. Good depth of flavour but lifts on rails of chalky pucker, has a slightly sour-sweet thing going on, edgy in a way, very cucumber and tonic to finish. Exotic expression, but with merit and interest and drinkability.
