Behind each bottle of natural wine from Alsace , you will discover a concentration of terroir, liveliness, and humanity. A closer look at this unique region, its artisans of life, and two vintages not to be missed if you are looking to buy natural wine online .
Alsace, a natural setting for living wine
Nestled between the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine, Alsace enjoys a dry, semi-continental climate with distinct seasons. This unique microclimate, combined with a mosaic of soils (granite, schist, limestone, sandstone, etc.), allows for an intense and precise expression of the grape varieties.
Here, natural Alsace wine finds an ideal playing field: the grapes ripen slowly, the aromas are refined, and the yields are often modest, favoring quality.
Among the emblematic grape varieties:
- Riesling
- Pinot Gris
- Gewurztraminer
- Muscat
- Sylvaner
Each can reveal complex and surprising facets when vinified without additives. Alsace is also one of the most advanced French regions in terms of biodynamics and natural winemaking practices.
Bruno Schueller & Domaine Kleinknecht: two free faces of Alsatian wine
Bruno Schueller, the rebel of Husseren-les-Châteaux
Coming from a line of winemakers, Bruno Schueller is today one of the essential names in natural wine in Alsace . Going against the grain of the appellation's codes, he cultivates his vines biodynamically and vinifies his wines with minimal intervention, without filtration or added sulfites.
His style is unique: vibrant, sometimes disconcerting, but always sincere. Lovers of natural wines recognize in him a rare freedom of expression, a taste for experimentation, and a true coherence between the vine and the glass.
Domaine Kleinknecht: freshness and precision in Mittelbergheim
On the Mittelbergheim side, Domaine Kleinknecht , run by André Kleinknecht and his children, embodies another vision of natural wine: precise, accessible, and joyfully refreshing.
Converting to organic farming since the 1990s, the estate now works in Demeter-certified biodynamics , with extreme care taken in the vinification process: indigenous yeasts, very little or no sulphur, gentle ageing... The estate's vintages shine with their balance, minerality and drinkability.
