The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Situated in Heiligenstein, Domaine Heywang is renowned for its mastery of Klevener, a rare and historic grape variety that predates Gewurztraminer and has been the hallmark of the village since 1742. Practicing organic viticulture, this family-run estate tends 7 hectares of hillside vineyards, producing an array of wines from the region’s grape varieties. Their hallmark is a dedication to crafting refined and meticulously balanced wines.
Wine The 2023 White Alsace Riesling Dorf is all about subtlety and elegance, with a pure, fresh nose featuring floral notes, particularly vine blossom. On the palate, it delivers the same finesse, marked by vibrant acidity, crisp precision, and a hint of salinity. This dry, invigorating wine is ready to enjoy now and will continue to shine over the next five years. Rated 92/100 by the Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aged for 6 months on lees.
