Established in the old town of Eguisheim, south of Colmar, this family estate whose origins date back to 1610 is located in a house dating back to 1684. Mathieu Ginglinger, who succeeded his father Pierre-Henri in 2003, runs the estate organically (certified in 2004). After acquiring vineyards at the southern end of the Route des Vins, he now has 15 ha, with parcels in 3 grands crus.
Presentation
Presentation
Pfersigberg, which stretches over 74.55ha, has a strong preference for Gewurztraminer. Pinot Gris, Riesling and Muscat also develop wonderful complexity, a lot of elegance and finesse. Pfersigberg is cited during the 16th century in lease agreements between lords and convents. More recently, the Eguisheim wine-growers awarded a prize for Pfersigberg wines during the first Wine Fair in Colmar in 1927. Pfersigberg wine, and more specifically Gewurztraminer, is characterized by body, fruitiness, aroma and longevity.
