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.

Winemaking
The entire production is harvested by hand to preserve the authenticity, conviviality and above all the quality of the harvest. The pressings are carried out in whole harvests, then the musts are transferred to the tuns for the alcoholic fermentation with a control of the temperature (15-20°C). Afterwards, the wine is matured on fine lees in the same tuns, as well as a light filtration before bottling.

Tasting
Its bright golden yellow glow exalts to us delicate aromas of spices, flowers and exotic fruits, such as pepper, cinnamon, rose, mango and lychee.
In the mouth, it is rich and fat, remains fresh and pleasant thanks to a still perceptible acidity.
