JP Rietsch "Entre le Chien et Loup" Alsace, France 2023

FROM CAMILIE RIVIÉRE:

THE PRODUCER: Our family has been established in Mittelbergheim since the 17th century, and since that time has been practicing trades linked to the vine, from cooperage to viticulture.

In the early 1970s, Pierre and Doris Rietsch created the estate that bears their name by transforming their mixed farming operation into a purely wine-growing business.

The estate is now managed by Jean-Pierre Rietsch and his wife Sophie, assisted by Pierre-Etienne Grieshaber. The estate works in partnership with La Main Verte, an adapted company whose teams participate in manual work in the vineyards, from pruning to trellising. Although retired from the farm, Pierre Rietsch remains present throughout the year and continues to contribute to the various tasks.

It is in this family spirit that we welcome our visitors when they come for a tasting and a discovery of our cellar, in which still in use are tuns that have been in place for three generations.Our family has been established in Mittelbergheim since the 17th century, and since that time has been practicing trades linked to the vine, from cooperage to viticulture.
