Additional information:
The Stirn estate is a family-owned winery where the winemaking tradition has been passed down for many generations.
The first mentions of the Stirn family date back to around 1450, and since then, they have passed on this winemaking tradition from generation to generation.
Odile and Fabien Stirn settled in 1999 on the family farm, founded in the 19th century. Oenologists have taken over the winemaking on the estate. Their vines (now 12 hectares) are spread between Beblenheim and Turckheim, giving them a beautiful mosaic of terroirs, with plots in 5 grands crus (Brand, Mambourg, Sonnenglanz, Schlossberg, and Marckrain).
Winemaking technique:
The pressing of whole grapes is carried out slowly with a pneumatic press at low pressure, in stages to respect the grapes and avoid crushing the stems and skins. The settling of the juices occurs naturally and statically, systematically 48 hours or more after pressing, to obtain the finest aromatic juice.
Fermentation of the must starts spontaneously thanks to the native yeasts present in the juice (via the grapes). By controlling the fermentation temperature with a cooling system, the fermentation lasts a very long time, allowing the wine to develop richness. Temperature control helps promote the expression of the grape variety’s typical aromas.
Viticulture:
Vines planted in 1999, with a density of 5,500 vines per hectare.
Grazing between the rows to promote micro-organisms, control yields, and limit erosion. Yield limitation by manual thinning for optimal ripening and quality of the grapes.
Technical characteristics:
Alcohol: 12.8% vol
Natural residual sugars: 43 g/l
Acidity: 4.35 g TH2
Terroirs: Located east of Turckheim, this terroir consists of gravel and alluvium from the Fecht alluvial cone, covered with clay: early soil thanks to the light, filtering structure with rapid warming.
Exposure: South
Culture: In organic conversion since 2020, high environmental value
Reviews (0)
On the nose, this wine radiates aromas of citrus, cinnamon, spices, ginger, pineapple, roses, and lychee.
On the palate, it seduces with its smoothness and flattering roundness. The exotic aromas, minerality, and honey provide a beautiful persistence in the finish.
