WINE DESCRIPTION
Albert Mann Winery is a family venture formed by the Barthelmé and Mann families, who have been cultivating vineyards around Wettolsheim in Alsace for about 350 years. Today, brothers Maurice and Jacky Barthelmé, along with their wives Marie-Claire and Marie-Thérèse, manage the estate that emerged from the merger of both family properties. They oversee 25 hectares, including seven Grand Cru sites, as well as the renowned yet non-Grand Cru Altenbourg and Rosenberg sites, and the exclusive Clos de la Faille. Certified biodynamic since 1997, the winery focuses on Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer, with Pinot Noir increasingly gaining prominence.

Alsace has a long and varied history of winemaking, dating back to the Romans. The region has been under the control of both France and Germany over the centuries, and this has had a significant influence on the wines produced here. Alsace was annexed by France in the late 19th century, and since then, the region has become known for its distinctive wines.CUSTOMER RATING
