Pepin Blanc

Pepin Blanc #8. Muscat, Riesling, Pinot gris, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc. 12.5% ABV

Zesty citrus, mineral with good acidity tamed by some gentle skin contact and the sweet character of the Muscat. Very easy drinking. Bring along to your dinner partys. Goes great with spicy asian style foods.

Pepin is a project by Alsace winery Achillee and Duo Oenologie, to make a line of natural wines that is accessible, affordable and supports small vinegrowers who want to make zero sulfite wines.

All the wines are organic or biodynamic grown, hand-harvested, indigenous yeast fermentations and with zero sulfites added. The wines are grown and sometimes vinified by various producers (about 15 different independent growers) with winemaking supervised by the Pepin team with a view to consistently putting out wines in particular styles. The styles are fun and easy going, built for social enjoyment. They typically have an Alsace structure but with a bit with a slightly wild side.
