Region: Dambach-la-Ville, Alsace, France
Grapes: Pinot Gris, Riesling, and/or other indigenous Alsatian varieties
Body: Light
Notes: Lively and aromatic. Ripe pear, quince, ginger, white blossom, and a flinty mineral edge with a dry, clean finish and gentle natural bubbles. Alsace in a bottle — playful but with real depth.
Pairing: Charcuterie, munster cheese, flammekueche, smoked fish, or pre-dinner snacks with serious flavor.
Eric Kamm "Kammehamehaa" is a méthode ancestrale pétillant naturel from Eric Kamm and his family at their estate in Dambach-la-Ville — a beautifully preserved medieval winemaking village in the Bas-Rhin of Alsace, surrounded by some of the most storied grand cru vineyards in France. Eric works alongside his cousin in a hybrid style, producing both traditional Alsatian wines and a range of natural, low-intervention cuvées that have earned a devoted following among natural wine lovers. The "Kammehamehaa" — a name as fun to say as the wine is to drink — is fermented with native yeasts and bottled before fermentation completes, capturing a lively, natural effervescence with zero dosage and no additions. The NV designation allows Eric to blend across harvests for consistency of style, resulting in a pét-nat that is reliably aromatic, textural, and completely infectious.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
