Description
GLOU GLOU GLOU? That’s the sound the wines makes when fermenting in the cellar… higher up than the granite terroir of the Grand Cru Wineck Schlossberg, but right next to it, with plenty of wind and good exposure, this parcel overlooks the village and the Alsace plain, and you can taste the fresh, invigorating air… it’s bordered by hedges and woods of acacia and chestnut, and the birds help us a little…
The story: A macerated riesling ! After two years of negotiations, I finally managed to convince my father to make a macerated riesling in 2021! and we’re pretty happy with it 🙂
Our suggestions: We’ve bottled it in magnum so that it can be shared with friends! 🙂 Goes well with anything that comes from the sea, from shellfish to seaweed to fish.
The labels: made by myself, I also wanted to express the terroir through the labels:
The GLOU represents a closed, hibernating seed, because pinot noir grows in rich, heavy, compact clay-limestone soil.
On GLOU GLOU the seed has germinated and is gradually unfolding into a colorful flower, a blend of gewurztraminer & muscat on a granitic terroir that’s still quite dense at the bottom of the slopes.
GLOU GLOU GLOU is Riesling on granitic soil, the opposite of Pinot Noir. Higher up, it’s swept by the winds, and the flower opens up completely, becoming airy and changing color to blue!
