Producer:
In the small picturesque town of Remich on the left bank of the Moselle river, the father and daughter duo, Laurent and Corinne Kox, are making truly exceptional still, sparkling and sweet wines in their own unique style.
 
Third generation, Corinne is the young gun, the ambitious winemaker slowly taking over from her traditional father. He still has the upper hand on traditional winemaking, and masters the best qualities of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Gewürztraminer and Saint Laurent, while she is bringing in ancient and more contemporary practices into the vineyard and cellar from drones to Qvevri to Luxembourgish oak barrels.
 
Vinification:
Manual harvesting, 90% destemmed, pellicular maceration and fermented in qvevri for 5 months, then racked to stainless steel for 3 months elevage on lies.
 
Tasting:
Despite it’s Orange-Gold colour and slight chewy texture, this wine does not spend any times macerating on the skins and these characteristics arise purely from the elevage in qvevri and on lies. Terracotta, clay, beeswax. Long, clean finish.
