The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Kaefferkopf'
Alsatian Grand Cru of Ammerschwihr (unique: blending permitted, like Altenberg-de-Bergheim): Gewurztraminer reigns (55% production) alongside Riesling (30%) and Pinot Gris (9%) — signature profile combining elegance and aromatic power, aromas of exotic fruits, soft spices, rose and minerality. Specific blend: 60-80% Gewurztraminer, 10-40% Riesling, ≤30% Pinot Gris, ≤10% Muscat. A true terroir wine.
The wine region of Alsace
Capital of great French aromatic whites, most often dry and single-varietal. Straight, mineral Riesling (lemon, gunflint), opulent, exuberant Gewurztraminer (lychee, rose, spices), round, smoky Pinot Gris, floral, crisp Muscat, supple Pinot Blanc. Fine, fruity Crémants d'Alsace, exceptional sweet Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles. 15,500 ha at the foot of the Vosges on varied soils, 51 Grands Crus since 1975.
The word of the wine: Hat
Solid part (marc), composed of pips and skins (sometimes of the stalk), which forms at the top of the tank during fermentation. The pigeage consists in breaking this cap to put back in suspension these elements and to favour the exchanges between the juice and the skins.
