ABOUT THIS WINE
The Gustave Lorentz Evidence Pinot Noir 2022 is a single-varietal Pinot Noir from the Alsace AOC in France. Produced by Gustave Lorentz, an estate founded in 1836, this wine is part of their 'Evidence' collection, which focuses on expressing the intrinsic qualities of the grape and its origin. The grapes are cultivated on clay-limestone soils on hillsides around Bergheim. The 2022 vintage in Alsace experienced varied weather conditions, including frost, hail, and drought, with late August rains contributing to the harvest, which began earlier than in 2021. Gustave Lorentz is committed to organic viticulture, holding certification since 2012.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Gustave Lorentz Evidence Pinot Noir 2022 is produced using grapes from organically grown vineyards. Fermentation occurs in thermo-regulated tanks, followed by a maceration period of 18 days. The wine is then aged in a combination of new, one-year-old, and two-year-old barriques. The estate's winemaking approach focuses on expressing the character of the grape and its terroir, with a commitment to organic practices.
