Terroir

VINE AGE: 25-35 years old.

LOCATION: plots on the sub-Vosgian plains and lower hillsides in Ingersheim.

EXPOSURE: East/South-East.

TERROIR : tertiary era. Complex alluvial deposits, sandy-loam colluvium, and pebbles. Variable in composition, they are all rich in active limestone, and soil fertility depends on the clay which binds minerals and retains water. All grape varieties, especially early-ripening ones, thrive on this terroir, producing powerful, well-balanced wines with great longevity.

Viticulture & Vinification

HARVEST: manual.

YIELD: N/A.

SORTING: at the winery.

VINIFICATION: pressing of the grapes in stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. Indigenous yeasts.

AGEING: 10 months in stainless steel tanks.

BOTTLING: after filtration through diatomaceous earth and pads.

CLOSURE: natural cork

Sommelier's Note

"What a beautiful surprise! The blend of these three grape varieties is unexpected and highly successful! The smoky notes of Riesling and the rose fragrances of Gewürztraminer blend harmoniously with the raisin and white flower notes of Sylvaner, complemented by a subtle, slightly spicy and minty touch. The palate is generous and mouth-watering, leading to a slightly saline finish. It is truly lovely and wonderfully atypical!"
