Domaine Achillée Cuvée Alsace, 2021

This wine showcases the gamut of white Alsatian grapes, being made from 20% Sylvaner, 15% Riesling, 15% Gewürztraminer, 10% Auxerrois, 10% Pinot Blanc, 10% Pinot Gris, 5% Pinot Noir, 5% Muscat, 5% Muscat Ottonel, and 5% Chasselas. Each grape is pressed individually to make their own wines, but a small portion of each press and maceration is blended for this wine. 20% of that sees a 2-4 day skin contact, there are no added sulfites, and there is as little intervention as possible. Achillée, meaning "Yarrow" (a wildflower) in French, are heavily involved in the biodynamic estate's farming practice and are its namesake. We would pair this lovely wine with pan-seared chicken thighs seasoned with rosemary and thyme.
