About This Vineyard
A family-run estate begun in 1958, Mittnacht Freres is a domaine to watch. While relatively low on most folks’ radars (in the US at least), this 20-hectare estate produces spot-on, expressive, beautifully made organic wines from traditional Alsace varietals. Run by the conscientious Christophe Mittnacht, the domaine employs organic and biodynamic practices in the vineyard, believing that biologically complex, complete soils are essential for producing original, meaningful wines. The domaine has holdings in Grand Cru Rosacker (in which Trimbach’s fabled Clos-St-Hune is located), as well as excellent parcels between Ribeauville and Riquewihr, whose vines are the source of Mittnacht’s terrific varietally labeled wines.
