Several grapes from one old-vine parcel, picked together and pressed together: Rittersberg is an old-school field blend with a lot more going on than its plain AOC Alsace label lets on. The old Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois and Riesling vines grow at the foot of the ruined Ortenbourg castle on east-facing granite. The soil is sandy and stony up top and gets richer lower down, and a nearby valley brings more rain than the estate's Grand Cru Frankstein sees. Florian and Mathilde Beck-Hartweg leave a third of the harvest on its skins for six months in amphora, then blend it back with the rest. The vineyards are certified organic, and the wine is bottled unfiltered with no added sulfites. When you open it, pull the cork an hour ahead, serve it cool rather than cold, and decant if there's too much natural spritz.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Smoked salmon on rye; crudités with herby dips; veal cooked low and slow; fresh or lightly aged goat cheese; tarte flambée.

Tasting Profile

Expect a juicy, fairly full-bodied dry white: ripe orchard fruit and citrus from the Auxerrois and Pinot Gris, lifted by Riesling's bright acidity and a stony, granite-driven minerality. The amphora-macerated portion typically adds a gentle grip, a hint of tea and spice, and a textured feel (think a lighter take on orange wine), finishing dry and savoury.
