The vintage
2018, vintage of great heat wave.
The Gewurztraminer are rich and extremely aromatic, while remaining on beautiful balances.
Location
We are fortunate to have several plots of old vines in an area that offers a terroir and maturity favorable to the blossoming of this grape variety in the commune of Eichhoffen.
Terroir
Heavy and deep marl soils.
In the vineyard
Harvesting is done at the very end of the season, before the late harvest.
These plots are often in an exceptional sanitary state, which allows us to bring in these grapes in optimal conditions, in over-ripeness. We try to have a little botrytis, in order to give the wine an exotic character and candied aromas.
