Winemaking
Fermented with indigenous yeasts in foudres with whole harvest and stems. Bottled unfiltered and with no additonal sulphites.
Description
From the very beginning, Jean Ginglinger has followed a firm philosophy: minimum intervention, maximum expression of the place. In southern Alsace, where the hillsides intertwine with sandstone and limestone soils, Jean inherited a forgotten plot of Pinot Noir with vines that were over 100 years old. Rather than replant or seek yields, he chose to preserve this vineyard, convinced that its deep roots could translate into a singular wine, with fine structure and precise minerality. Thus was born Ginglinger Pinot Noir Sandstein, a rare and honest wine, only made in vintages that deserve it.
Winemaking
Ginglinger Pinot Noir Sandstein is vinified naturally: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, partial use of whole clusters to preserve tension and structure, no additives, no filtering or aggressive fining. Ageing takes place in old used oak vats, which allow the wine to breathe without adding external aromas. Sulphites are used, if at all, in minimal doses, respecting the pure expression of the Pinot Noir and its pink sandstone terroir.
Taste
Ginglinger Pinot Noir Sandstein shows a delicate nose of red cherry, ripe raspberry and a subtle earthy background. Notes of graphite, white pepper and wilted petals appear. The palate is tense, with firm acidity that structures the drink, silky tannins and a fluid, almost ethereal texture. The minerality marks the passage: wet stone, a slight saline echo, and a spicy background reminiscent of black tea. The finish is long, fresh, with a whisper of ripe red fruit and dry soil. This is a Pinot of pure expression, for those seeking restrained energy and depth without artifice. Only a few bottles are produced: a living testimony of an old vineyard that still has a lot to say.
