Knastør, unique Riesling. Only 500 bottles!
Julien Renard runs 0.7 hectares in Winningen in the Moselle on extremely steep fields, where all work is done by hand and without chemicals. In the cellar, it is spontaneous fermentation, no bâtonnage, no filtration, long élevage and an absolute minimum of sulfur added at bottling, if it is even considered necessary. This is as far from fruity Mosel Riesling with residual sweetness as you can get. Julien makes dry, razor-sharp and mineral wines with lots of acidity and an impressive balance. These are wines that, despite their very low sulfur content, stay open and develop for days. The future looks very promising for this small winery.

"This is the only “lieu-dit” wine that Renard produces every year. Originally named Göttchesberg, this is a .3ha parcel on the lower side of Winninger Domgarten with pebblestones and sandy topsoil, and of course, slate bedrock. Macerated overnight and pressed in a vertical basket press before 20 months is a 500L barrel on full lees. Interestingly Julien harvests this site in four passes, pressing and fermenting each pass separately. Every year the wine is a selection of the best barrels.
