Domaine Loew is a family winery located next to Strasbourg. It was founded in 1996 by Etienne Loew, coming from a family with a rich history dating back to the 18th century. The estate of 6.5 hectares is spread out on 5 villages, with many various terroirs, but all the same subsoil of marl. Etienne is very attached to the protection of his land: the estate has been farmed biodynamically since 1996.

Tasting
Ripe nose with sandstone mineral and tropical touches. This rich wine presents aromas of eucalyptus, peppermint and bitter orange. Explosion of fruits in the mouth. These fruits burst onto the palate in an almost divine harmony, resulting from the balance between substance and acidity. Its mature, mellow acidity engenders pleasure.
Food pairings
Crab, lobster or slightly sweet-and-sour dishes.
