Klur Natur, Air De Famille, Alsace, France, 2019

Producer Profile

With the ‘Klur Nature’ project, Clement Klur pushes the boundaries of what it is possible from his small estate on the steep slopes of Alsace.

Intent on producing wines as naturally as possible, his philosophy goes beyond organics and biodynamics, and the wines see no fining, no filtration, and no added sulphur (around 10mg/l in most wines), whilst grapes are handpicked and pressed in tiny traditional presses to ensure as little interference from vine to bottle as possible. This all results in intense flavours and textures that offer a unique and vital expression of variety and terroir.

Viticulture

Great wine always starts in the vineyard. Organic since 2000 Klur Nature comes from a small 1.7ha vineyard on the hills surrouding Katzenthal, every process is carried out by hand in a biodynamic manner, with a little help from the horses that are used to plough the rows.

Winemaking

Aged for 9 months in second use 228l French oak then bottled 9 months after the harvest with no added sulphites, no fining and unfiltered. As natural as they come.
