2023 Les Pentes Sèches Hunter McKirdy Elsass 0,75l

2023 Les Pentes Sèches Hunter McKirdy is a distinctive Alsace white wine that brings together precision, freshness, and a strong sense of place. Sourced from the region’s chalk- and marl-rich slopes, it reflects a modern, hand-crafted approach to a classic white-wine terroir, with a focus on purity and mineral expression.

Tasting Notes
Pale, bright, and crystalline in the glass, it opens with aromas of lemon zest, white peach, pear, fresh herbs, floral accents, and a subtle wet-stone character. The palate is taut and energetic, with lively acidity, saline mineral drive, and a long, elegant finish that leaves a clean, refined impression. With its structure and balance, it should also evolve gracefully over the next few years.

Production
This wine comes from the Alsace region, where poor chalk and marl soils help shape its mineral precision and freshness. The grapes are hand-harvested and spontaneously fermented, then matured with minimal intervention and extended lees contact to build texture, depth, and complexity while preserving clarity of fruit.

Food & Serving
Ideal with seafood, grilled or roasted fish, poultry, and goat cheese. Serve chilled, around 10–12°C, to keep its freshness and aromatic detail at the forefront. Decanting is not essential, though a short aeration can help if the wine is enjoyed very young.

Producer
Hunter McKirdy is associated with a thoughtful, terroir-driven style of winemaking that emphasizes craftsmanship and restraint. In Alsace, a region long celebrated for expressive whites, this approach highlights both tradition and a modern, precise interpretation of the vineyard. The result is a wine that speaks clearly of origin and method rather than winemaking excess.
