Riesling 'Genese' Vignoble Des 2 Lunes 2022

The 'Genese' Riesling from Vignoble des 2 Lunes is an Alsatian white wine from biodynamic agriculture, characterized by a tense and complete taste development. Behind the Domaine Vignoble des 2 Lunes is an all-female team consisting of sisters Amélie and Cécile Buecher, who took over the family winery in 2009, a winery that has been dedicated to wine production for seven generations in the Wettolsheim area, located just 6 kilometers southwest of Colmar, one of the most charming cities in France. The Buecher sisters, the first female producers in the family, immediately brought their innovative vision to the Domaine while respecting the well-established Alsatian tradition.

Vignoble des 2 Lunes 'Genese' Riesling is an expression of the eponymous German-origin grape variety, cultivated according to the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. After manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed, and the resulting must is transferred to stainless steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation carried out by native yeasts only. Once the fermentation process is complete, the wine is matured for 12 months in oak barrels, and after further resting in the bottle, it is finally ready for the market.

The 'Genese' Riesling from Domaine Vignoble des 2 Lunes has a straw-yellow color with greenish highlights. The aromatic range expresses notes of peach, green apple, lemon zest, melon, white flowers, and acacia honey, enriched by mineral hints of flint that will evolve towards petrol with aging. On the palate, it is dry, fine, and balanced, with a vibrant fresh-salty thrust taking center stage, accompanied by a pronounced mineral character.
