{"product_id":"kritt-pinot-blanc-marc-kreydenweiss-alsace-france-natural-wine","title":"Kritt Pinot Blanc 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eKritt is a lieu-dit vineyard on the outskirts of Andlau, in the Bas-Rhin department of Alsace. The 3.7-hectare plot sits at 200 meters elevation on a south-facing slope, with ferruginous clay soils that are stony and rich in quartz. Vines are 20 to 40 years old, planted at 5,000 vines per hectare, and farmed biodynamically under Ecocert organic and Biodyvin certifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is a blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Auxerrois — two closely related varieties that perform well on this iron-rich, mineral soil. Grapes are hand-harvested, pressed slowly as whole bunches, and fermented with indigenous yeasts through full alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine then ages on its lees in old Alsatian oak foudres for 15 months before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is dry and mineral, with no perceptible residual sugar. The palate is dense and juicy with a distinctly saline finish — a characteristic of the Kritt terroir. At 12.5% ABV, the wine stays focused and food-friendly rather than heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: the existing product listing incorrectly lists the grape as Riesling. Kritt is consistently produced from Pinot Blanc and Pinot Auxerrois across all vintages. This has been confirmed by the domaine, multiple certified retailers, and the SAQ.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marc Kreydenweiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13783940235319,"sku":"KREYPBLA17C","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/kritt-pinot-blanc-marc-kreydenweiss-alsace-france-natural-wine.jpg?v=1780663614","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/kritt-pinot-blanc-marc-kreydenweiss-alsace-france-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
