Alsace Pinot Noir: An elegant blend from two vineyards
This Pinot Noir is a blend of two exceptional vineyards with old vines. Hand-harvested and naturally fermented, the grapes are aged for 10 months in French oak barrels. By avoiding filtration, the delicate aromas are fully preserved.
Tasting Notes: The wine has a deep, dark red color with brilliant garnet hues. The nose reveals intense aromas of black fruits such as blackberry, blackcurrant, and cherry, along with hints of vanilla. The palate is smooth and balanced, echoing the fruitiness of wild berries. Silky tannins provide structure, adding harmony and length to the wine.

Alsace Gewürztraminer: A true expression of Alsace terroir
This wine is made from 100% Gewürztraminer, with grapes carefully handpicked and pressed bunch by bunch. A slow, gentle pressing is followed by a cool, natural fermentation that can last up to three months.
Tasting Notes: The Gewürztraminer has a brilliant golden color with delicate floral notes of rose petals and jasmine. You'll also find the characteristic lychee and ripe tropical fruits, forming a rich bouquet.

These award-winning wines, praised by one of the most respected voices in the wine world, are now available in our assortment and promise an unforgettable wine experience.
