The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Engelberg'
Grand Cru between Dahlenheim and Scharrachbergheim in the Bas-Rhin (14. 80 ha at 250–300 m on the south-facing slopes of Mont Scharrach, calcareous-marl well-draining terroir, continental dry climate with dry summers and long autumns, noble wines since the 9th century): dominant signature Gewurztraminer — opulent white profile on this warm stone. Taut Riesling enhancing the stony heat-retaining soil, ample Pinot Gris as complement, fine acidity through calcareous fractures.
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: Old vines
There are no specific regulations governing the term "vieilles vignes". After 20 to 25 years, the yields stabilize and tend to decrease, the vines are deeply rooted, and the grapes that come from them give richer, more concentrated, more sappy wines, expressing with more nuance the characteristics of their terroir. It is possible to find plots of vines that claim to be a century old.
