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: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
