The 15 hectares include vines classified as Alsace Grand Cru – Eichberg, Pfersigberg, and Ollwiller, Organic viticulture does not use any synthetic treatment and fertilizers, to avoid pollution, and to protect flora and fauna.

This gives the opportunity to produce quality wines, representative of their terroir, because the wine can draw the maximum character of the soil.

More on France – Travel; whats on; food; wine; places to visit
Alsace is a truly exceptional setting for making wine. Protected by the Vosges Mountains, this picturesque region is singularly blessed with enviable conditions: ancient soils, noble grapes and an extraordinary climate – one of the driest in France. Thirteen distinct terroirs make Alsace a mosaic unlike anywhere else. Here, minerality and freshness aren’t just concepts, they are the story of the wines.[http://www.winesofalsace.com/]
