Appelation |
Alsace AOC |
|---|---|
Vineyard |
Our parcels are located in the heart of the Alsace vineyard, 10 km south of Colmar, the capital of Alsace wines and one of the driest and sunniest regions in France. The Alsace vineyard enjoys a unique location, between the Vosges Massif and the Black Forest, and a semi-continental climate. Located at an altitude of 300 meters, the soils are heavy, deep and well drained. The richness of the soil, combined with ideal exposure, enables the production of complex, rich and racy wines. |
Vinification |
Very healthy and fully ripe grapes hand-harvested in September. Maceration in whole bunch for 48 hours. Then fermentation for 2 weeks in old oak casks followed with aging on fine lees for 4 more weeks. |
Pairing |
This Orange Pinot Gris is a wonderful accompaniment to a cheese platter, dried meats, cold meats and smoked fish. |
