The Cattin family arrived in Voegtlinshoffen, a small village famous for its wines since the Middle-Ages, in 1720. The tradition of father working with son has been passed down through the generations ever since. Today, the estate is run by Jacques senior and Jacques junior, who joined his father in 2007. Both continue to be closely associated in the winemaking process. With a total of 60 hectares under their control, this is one of the largest family-run estates in Alsace. Voegtlinshoffen itself is located around five kilometres south of Colmar and as a commune has 87 hectares under vine, of which one-quarter are classified as Grand Cru Hatschbourg, which it shares with the neighbouring village of Hattstadt. Although not certified, the Cattin’s work organically in all of their own vineyards. The hand-picked grapes are slowly crushed to preserve their character. Fermentation between 18°C and 22°C. This is their first orange wine, made by macerating white grapes in contact with their skins. This has real body and spice, backing up preserved orange flavours, and is nearly dry, with a rounded texture. Succulent, and food friendly, matching pork chicken or duck (Duck a L'Orange anyone?), but also good with Asian food, or a bit of spice Indian and Thai, pork chops, mushroom risotto or charcuterie -

It’s all about the details at Meyer-Fonné, with an emphasis on tradition and respect for terroir. The winery and family home is in the village of Katzenthal, known for its distinctive granite soils. Meyer is a master at the art of blending and astutely applies this skill in mixing the wine from various parcels into complex, balanced cuvées. He also believes in raising his wines on fine lees in large, older foudres, as was the tradition in Alsace. All of Meyer’s bottlings are characterised by stunning aromatics and a signature backbone of minerality and nerve. 50% Riesling, 25% Muscat, 20% Pinot Blanc, 5% Sylvaner and Pinot Gris This is a distinguished Edelzwicker blend, containing at least 50% of the ‘noble’ varieties of Riesling and Muscat, with Pinot Blanc making up the balance. The wine tends to be a blend of the same proportions and parcels each vintage. With just two grams of residual sugar, the wine is technically dry. Very delicate nose. Faintly floral with the Muscat very discreet and no obvious single varietal character. Lovely and delicate to the palate with a notable Riesling-like linearity. Floral and delicate. Roast chicken (or Quorn) with mashed potatoes is just saying 'yes please!' Or why not spice things up with jerk chicken rice and peas... Vegan
