What is this wine?
Bastian Beny Cuvée Weiss 2022 is a fresh, aromatic white blend from Alsace, France, produced by up-and-coming winemaker Bastian Beny in Mittelwihr. Beny farms organically and vinifies with minimal intervention to capture the character of Alsace’s marl and limestone soils. The 2022 Cuvée Weiss is a field blend of Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner, Riesling, and Muscat, harvested by hand and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts. It’s aged on fine lees in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant, textural profile.
Why get this wine?
This cuvée perfectly embodies the new wave of Alsatian winemaking: pure, dry, and terroir-driven rather than overtly aromatic or sweet. It’s a beautifully balanced everyday white with real finesse, combining freshness and texture in equal measure. For those looking for a versatile food wine that overdelivers on quality, Cuvée Weiss is an excellent choice.
