The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Rosacker'
Grand Cru of Hunawihr in Haut-Rhin (~26 ha, 260-330 m, east-south-east exposure, Triassic Muschelkalk and dolomitic Lettenkohle limestone, calci-magnesian soils with Vosges sandstone debris). Riesling is the signature grape (50%): dry, powerful and concentrated with ripe aromas and superb extended saline tension. Gewurztraminer (30%) adds richness. Temperate microclimate fostering slow ripening, wines of great longevity; home to the mythical Clos Sainte Hune.
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: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
