WINE DESCRIPTION
Les Vins Pirouettes Espectacular from Alsace offer a tantalizing fusion of flavors crafted by a collective of over twenty independent winemakers committed to organic and biodynamic practices. This cuvée, a culmination of pioneering maceration trials within the domaine, showcases a harmonious blend of traditional Alsatian grape varieties such as Auxerrois, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat. Cultivated in marno-calcareous soils with a modest yield of 50 hL/ha, these grapes undergo manual harvesting and meticulous Demeter-certified farming methods. The winemaking process involves a 10-day maceration period on each grape variety (except for Auxerrois, which undergoes 15 days), followed by pressing and meticulous blending. Subsequently, the wine matures for 10 months in stainless steel tanks, allowing it to express its vibrant, fruit-forward character with finesse and purity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Les Vins Pirouettes Espectacular presents an enticing bouquet with vibrant aromas of ripe stone fruits, lychee, and floral notes of rose petals, intertwined with hints of citrus zest and a subtle herbal undertone.On the palate, it offers a delightful harmony of flavors, showcasing the richness of Gewurztraminer, the depth of Pinot Gris, and the aromatic intensity of Muscat, complemented by the freshness of Auxerrois. Luscious peach and apricot flavors mingle with exotic spices and a touch of honey, leading to a lingering, refreshing finish. Pair this wine with spicy Asian dishes, such as Thai curry or Szechuan stir-fry, to enhance its complexity.

ORIGINS
Winery: Les Vins Pirouettes

Alsace is a French wine region located in the northeast of the country, bordering Germany and Switzerland. It is renowned for its unique wines, which are made from a variety of grapes and styles.
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
