STORY: In 1999, Marc Kreydenweiss bought the estate in Manduel between Nîmes and Arles. This is the start of a new adventure for the Kreydenweiss family. The Nîmes region, with its climate and its terroir, quickly revealed itself as the ideal place to satisfy this passion for great reds and develop grape varieties from the Midi thanks to the Alsatian experience. Particularly attracted by old grape varieties such as Carignan or even Syrah and Mourvèdre which are the king grape varieties in the Rhône Valley, planted for years at the estate and converted to biodynamics as soon as it is purchased. Jean, the son, back after a year working for estates in New Zealand, joined the father in 2016 and is now in charge of the vineyard in Manduel. A family with a centuries-old wine history whose original stronghold is in Andlau, Alsace. An estate which, through its climate, soils, grape varieties and terroirs, aroused the desire to realize a dream and to indulge a passion for red wines and for biodynamics. VINES: The principles of biodynamics are applied throughout the estate. The vines are carefully pruned in order to control yields. After disbudding, all the shoots are removed from the base to allow the sun to reach the grapes. The harvest is manual with sorting, everything is destemmed. Each phase leads to a maximized qualitative process in order to obtain a great mineral richness and a beautiful delicacy in the wines. VINIFICATIONS: Short macerations of one week with indigenous yeasts vinified in concrete and stainless steel vats then aged in casks. A slow pneumatic press. The vinification is done naturally, a minimal addition of sulfur is made at the bottling.
