WUNSCH & MANN: A STAPLE<br />
Wunsch & Mann has been producing Alsace wines from the best<br />
hillside sites since 1793, epitomising family traditions and a<br />
genuine love of winegrowing. Certified organic since 2011, the<br />
estate thrives by focusing on site-expressiveness in each vintage and<br />
preserving the inherent flavour of the grape variety. “Pinot noir is a<br />
multi-tasker”, stresses Maxime Mann. “It can be used in many ways,<br />
both for sparkling and still wines. Twenty years ago, growers turned<br />
their backs on it, but it has become a major feature of the vineyards<br />
of Alsace thanks to its multiple facets which allow every grower to<br />
find their own style”. The range includes 7 different styles of Pinot<br />
noir, from the most simple, pleasurable fruit-forward offerings to<br />
the most complex fleshy, robust examples from the Hengst Grand<br />
Cru. From maceration through to maturation, each wine is made<br />
differently. The charming, satisfying Pinot noir Tradition is the<br />
most popular. Equus is a selection from vineyards in the Hengst<br />
