La Boutanche Riesling is a dry, 100% Riesling produced by Andi Knauss at Weingut Knauss in Strümpfelbach, in the Remstal area of Württemberg, Germany. The 2020 vintage draws fruit from five separate vineyards planted on gipskeuper and sandstone soils, with vines ranging from 10 to 32 years old. It is hand harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged entirely in stainless steel with minimal sulfur additions.
La Boutanche is a collaboration series conceived by importer Selection Massale to bring honest, affordable natural wine to market in 1-liter screw-top bottles. Knauss, identified on the label by a grasshopper, is the German anchor of the project. The wine is fully dry (trocken) and linear, built around a mineral core with cool citrus fruit and a firm snap of acidity in the finish — closer in spirit to a lean Chablis than to sweeter German Riesling styles.
Weingut Knauss holds organic certification and farms across more than 100 individual plots in and around Strümpfelbach and neighboring villages in the hills above the river Rems. Elevations range between 300 and 400 meters. Natural fermentations and minimal sulfur are standard across the range; some cuvées are bottled with no sulfur at all.
