The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Sporen'
Grand Cru of Riquewihr in the Haut-Rhin (~24 ha in a south-east-facing amphitheatre at 275 m, clay-marl soils decalcified on the surface, very rich in phosphoric acid which promotes early ripening). Gewurztraminer is the white king: full-bodied, rich and luscious with exotic fruits and spices, balanced by aromatic herbs and fine acidity. Pinot Gris is a distinguished complement. Finesse, distinction, elegance and richness—a terroir cited as early as 1432 by the Dukes of Württemberg.
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: White winemaking
White wines are obtained by fermentation of the juice after pressing. A pre-fermentation maceration is sometimes practiced to extract the aromatic substances from the skins. White wines are normally made from white grapes, but can also be made from red grapes (blanc de noirs). The grapes are then pressed as soon as they arrive at the vat house without maceration in order to prevent the colouring matter contained in the skins from "staining" the wine.
