"The terroir of the king of Alsatian wines, the Riesling"

The Wineck-Schlossberg vineyard is oriented south and south-east, between 280 and 400m above sea level, protected from the prevailing winds, Microclimate very favorable. The disintegrated granitic substrate gives rise to light soils rich in mineral elements, allowing an early maturity of the grapes. The Grands Crus of the Wineck Schlossberg are typically distinctive wines, very characteristic of the best wines of Alsace. The nature of the soil gives them their fruity, their aromas and an incomparable floral character.

51st grand cru of Alsace: an exceptional terroir

The name of this terroir appears for the first time in the cadastre of the Abbey of Pairis in Ammerschwihr in 1338. It is then repeatedly quoted in various works of the 19 and 20th centuries.

In the heart of the Alsatian vineyard south of Ammerschwihr, there are several hills under Vosges at an altitude of 240 to 320 meters. Wonderfully sunny, this land of 71.65 hectares produces fine wines of great finesse which are the pride of our house.

More information about the terroir

Mainly granite slopes (granite migmatite of Kaysersberg, granite at 2 micas of Turckheim) flush with the piedmont partially masked by Quaternary formations of various origins. The Kaefferkopf benefits from the Ammerschwihr microclimate created by an important foehn effect which maintains high pressures in a low pressure environment, especially in spring and autumn. It produces well-structured, balanced and elegant wines, aromatic finesse with beautiful acidity.

It benefits from a very favourable south-east exposure and a notable Colmar-specific microclimate. The terroir of 53.35ha is made of Oligocene-epoch coastal conglomerate. The soil is marl-limestone with mostly Oolithic limestone pebbles with interbedded marl.

The wines from this terroir

Le Pinot Gris Grand Cru Marckrain

This Pinot Gris opens with notes of candied and roasted fruits such as pear. It possesses a very beautiful richness in sugar, a sign of the high maturities that this Grand Cru allows.

Its generous and honeyed structure coats the mouth and finds a subtle balance by the presence of a melted and chiselled freshness which thus allows this wine to keep a pleasant digestibility.

Alcohol abuse is dangerous for health. To consume with moderation.
