Winery
Domaine Mittnacht is a family-run estate founded by brothers André and Louis in 1958. Currently led by Marc Mittnacht (son of André), the estate farms some of the finest vineyards in the commune of Hunawihr, one of the most beautiful villages in France.
The family was an early pioneer of the biodynamic movement, believing that biologically complex, complete soils are essential for producing elegant and terroir-driven wines. The domaine was officially certified biodynamic in 1999 – one of the very first in all of Alsace.
Domaine Mittnacht believes in minimal intervention and letting the soil sing using neutral wood and tank to deliver spot-on, expressive and beautifully delicate wines. They harvest balanced fruits and avoid excessive alcohol and residual sugar that mask the freshness and florality—traits that make Alsace wines so special.
