Winemaker’s/Importer’s notes: The Binners have been farming in the village of Ammerschwihr since 1770, first in polyculture, and since WWII as full-on wine growers. Christian was lucky that his ancestors, although never officially certified, always worked the land in the organic spirit. “Even in the 1950s, when mechanization and fertilizers started to take over, my father quickly realized that he preferred to continue to work as he was used to, i.e. with a lot of handwork, manure and natural treatments for the vineyards. Thanks to this, we have this enormous luck of having vines as old as the 1930s, planted by my grandfather, that never saw chemicals in their life,” Christian retraces the family history. His father Joseph was similarly careful in the cellar, and, with the help of the legendary Beaujolais grower and natural wine trailblazer Marcel Lapierre, who became a family friend, they were already making wines without added sulfur in the 1990s.
This vineyard is a mix of old vines planted on Loess that are farmed biodynamically, and young vines on granite soil in conversion. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted in the vineyard. Spontaneously fermented on indigenous yeast. Unfined, unfiltered, un-disgorged, and aged in old wooden vats. ‘Keep chilled before opening to avoid a wine fountain!’
This pét-nat is fruity, vibrant with layers of tropical and citrus fruits. It has a mouthwatering acidity and a refreshing salinity making so easy drinking.
A great pair to appetizers, shellfish, fried and spicy dishes.
