ONE DROP 2022

Region: France Alsace

Grape : Muscat, Gewurztraminer,
Chasselas, Riesling, Pinot Blanc

Category: White (orange)

An exquisite new cuvée that combines rich flavor and freshness. There is a slight gas left when you open it, but it settles down quickly and when you drink it at room temperature, the flavor and dark fruit gradually overflow like a wave.

This cuvée was born out of our desire to make a donation in our own way to Gossi Gao, a charity organization that supports the health and education independence of the Tuareg people in the Sahara Desert.
Sell ​​the wine and donate the profits to the organization.
The donations are used for school and hospital operations, medicine, etc.

Some of the grapes were harvested by the Gesikt team from a friend's field in the same village.
A blend of 5 varieties from various plots.

Muscat, Gewurz, and Chasselas are macerationed for 30 days without destemming. Others are direct press. Aged for 6 months in foudre barrels.

[Producer information]
The brewery is located in the village of Ammerschwihr, located about 10 kilometers northwest of Colmar. Currently, the company owns a total of 12 hectares of vineyards in the villages of Amerswil and Katzenthal.
In 2008, Christian Binaire began brewing without adding SO2, aiming for a clarity that would surpass that of the natural masters of Alsace. He has gained experience while making wine without SO2 additives, and the quality is extremely stable at a high level, making it hard to believe that there are no antioxidants added. This is partly due to the beautiful plot of land on the steep slope that my parents had from their ancestors. The quality of the wine was further boosted by those vineyards, which are hard to find even if you wanted to buy them now.

Frédéric's nephew, Arnaud, who was the previous owner, has now taken over the brewery, and with his youthful sensibilities and genius sense, he is creating new masterpieces one after another.

[Field/Soil/Brewing]
The lower part of the soil is clay/calcareous soil. The topsoil consists of granite, quartzite, and round stones called gre brought from the river. Umami comes from calcareous soil. The mineral feel comes from the granite and quartzite in the topsoil.
Currently, all cuvées are free of antioxidants. Most cuvées are aged in large foudre barrels unique to Alsace.
