A truly special wine region, with so much to discover.\n\u003ch2\u003e The reputation of Alsace wines\u003c\/h2\u003e \n\u003cspan\u003eWinemaking in Alsace owes its origins first and foremost to the Romans. They ensured that Alsace became one of Europe's most prestigious wine regions during the Middle Ages. No celebration went by without glasses of Alsatian wine being well-filled. Through its ups and downs, Alsace has maintained this reputation thanks to passionate winemakers, and it has always remained a fascinating and unique wine region. Furthermore, Alsace is a leader in organic wine production. The climate, with abundant sunshine and little rain, makes the region ideal for producing organic wines. For centuries, Alsace has been accustomed to growing wines without chemical pesticides.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The special terroir of Alsace\u003c\/h2\u003e \n\u003cspan\u003eAlsace is protected from the ocean by the Vosges Mountains. This also makes it one of the few French regions with the lowest rainfall. Despite its northern location, the region enjoys as many hours of sunshine as the south of France. Grapes from the Alsace wine region enjoy the ideal climate on the slopes of the Vosges Mountains, resulting in grapes with refined aromas. The soil also plays a significant role in the characteristics of the grape varieties. No other wine region boasts such diverse soil types as Alsace, ranging from granite, limestone, and sandstone to marl and clay. This forms the basis for the wine's character. There are 51 sites in Alsace where the combination of climate, location, and soil structure is so unique that they have been awarded Grand Cru status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The grape varieties in Alsace\u003c\/h2\u003e \n\u003cspan id=\"moreText\"\u003eThe vast majority of wines produced are varietal wines, meaning they are made from a single grape variety. The so-called noble grape varieties of Alsace are Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and Muscat. Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Sylvaner also play an important role. Besides thousands of winegrowers, Alsace also boasts trading houses and cooperatives, with extensive collaborations. A prime example of a leading cooperative is Wolfberger. Founded in 1902, they collaborate with no fewer than 800 local winegrowers. This collaboration results in exquisite wines of high quality. Those seeking class, elegance, and refinement can visit the centuries-old Mure winery. Founded in 1650, this winery has been at the forefront ever since. The strength of the winery lies in the Clos St. Landelin vineyard, where they have planted classic grape varieties.

The family personally oversees every step of the process, from planting to harvest and from vinification to bottling. The Trimbach family's viticultural origins date back to 1626, when Jean Trimbach was recognized as a citizen of Riquewihr. From that moment on, the Trimbachs were known for their viticulture. Maison Trimbach's vineyards are all located around Ribeauville (Ribeauville, Hunawihr, Bergheim, Rorschwihr, Riquewihr, and Mittlewihr). They benefit from the unique Alsatian microclimate, thanks to the shelter of the Vosges Mountains, which protect the plain from rain.\n\n\n \nHarvesting this grape is a unique process. It only happens when all the other harvests are complete. At that point, the grapes are overripe and ideally suited for making dessert wine. This grape is also affected by noble rot. Harvesting is done manually, one grape at a time. The grapes are extremely delicate, and you certainly don't want to waste this beautiful juice. The wine is fermented in stainless steel, without malolactic fermentation, to preserve the fruit's natural acidity. Finally, the wine is aged for three months before bottling.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A Gewurztraminer in perfect balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The taste is harmonious: freshness alternates with the fruitiness of stone fruits like nectarines and peaches.

The Trimbach family, which has been at the helm for 13 generations, currently owns over 15,000 hectares of vineyards, 1,600 of which are classified as Grand Cru. They produce fruity yet structured, elegant, balanced, and long-lived wines.\n\n\n \nThe Trimbach Pinot Gris Réserve Personnelle vineyard boasts rich clay and mineral soils with significant limestone deposits. Harvesting is carried out manually to ensure the grapes are handled with the utmost care and arrive at the winery undamaged. In the winery, the Trimbach Pinot Gris Réserve Personnelle vintage is gently pressed, and the must is cold-racked using gravity to remove and clarify any impurities or sediments. It then ferments at around 20 degrees Celsius to preserve and extract the varietal's fresh, fruity aromas.

However, this wine still has years of aging potential, after which this Gewürztraminer from Muré will only become more concentrated and mature. This Gewürztraminer Clos Saint Landelin from Muré can age for at least another fifteen years.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Fully organic vineyard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis magnificent winery was founded in 1650. Thanks in part to the private ownership of the Clos Saint Landelin terroir, they are among the absolute top. The vineyard is approximately 35 years old and produces truly beautiful Pinot Gris grapes. Because the roots penetrate so deeply into the soil, the grapes are rich in minerals, limestone, and freshness. For the past ten years, the estate has been farming its own vineyards entirely organically. To restore the vineyards to their original state, they are also experimenting with dense planting. Pierres Seches means \"dry stone.\" The Rouffach terroir lies in the sub-hills of the Vosges Mountains. To develop their vines, the elders built terraces of dry stone called Murén. These terraces ensure good drainage of the clay and limestone soil and also provide ideal conditions for the vines.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A light golden wine with silvery hints\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nLocated in Rouffach, in southern Alsace, Clos Saint Landelin, the Muré family's monopoly, covers twelve hectares. It is situated on the southern slopes of the Grand Cru Vorbourg. The steep, south-facing slopes are cultivated in terraces. The soil is clay and limestone with a high concentration of stones. The subsoil is made up of Bajocian calcareous sandstone and Oligocene calcareous conglomerates. The vineyard is organically farmed.\n\n\n\n The grapes for this white wine are harvested by hand on the first day of October. They are then transported in twenty-kilo boxes to the wine cellars. There, the grapes are carefully selected and sorted. Slow fermentation and aging on fine lees then follow. This light golden wine with silvery hints is a delicious wine with explosions of aromas. Highly recommended!","brand":"Verbunt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775789764687,"sku":"10416","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/mure-gewurztraminer-clos-saint-landelin_10416.webp?v=1770120785"},{"product_id":"wolfberger-hengst-grand-cru-pinot-gris","title":"Wolfberger Hengst Grand Cru Pinot Gris","description":"Wolfberger wines have dominated the Alsace vineyards for nearly 120 years.

This winery has a long history, as the German Claus Schlumberger arrived in Alsace as early as the sixteenth century. He established his estate in Guebwiller, but unfortunately, he didn't enjoy it for long because the region was dominated by the monks known as \"The Princes Abbés.\" He moved to another town, where he passed his estate on to his son, Nicolas Schlumberger. In 1810, he built wine cellars and purchased a twenty-hectare vineyard that would later produce his renowned wines. Nicolas also had many children, nine to be precise, with Jean Schlumberger taking over the reins from his father. The family's love for Alsace is strong, and today, everything is still run by the Schlumberger family.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The old Riesling vineyard of Domaines Schlumberger\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Riesling grapes are very important to the Schlumberger family and are grown in the Bollenberg region. They are found in the Saering and Kessler vineyards, as well as a small portion in the young Kitterlé vineyard. Each of these vineyards contributes to this Riesling. The unique climate in the vineyards—plenty of sunshine, cool breezes, and incredibly rich soil structure—gives Domaines Schlumberger a powerful and full harvest. The extensive dedication of the entire team in the vineyards makes this vineyard truly unique. At the perfect ripeness, the Riesling grapes are harvested entirely by hand. Each grape is individually inspected, with only the finest bunches being used for this white Domaines Schlumberger Riesling Les Princes Abbes.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of the Schlumberger Riesling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce the Riesling grapes are pressed, the entire juice is aged for a full eight months on the lees. This gives it strength and soft aromas and flavors. Upon opening the bottle, we immediately smell a powerful and refined aroma of exotic fruit. Grab a large glass to release all the flavors and aromas, and as we pour, we see a golden yellow color with green glints. With our noses held high, we detect powerful aromas of yuzu peel, lemon, exotic fruits, and a touch of spice. The palate is round and very refined, with a slight, tingling mousse that creates a true sensation in the mouth. We noted notes of exotic fruit, citrus peel, and, of course, peach and spice. What a superb Alsace Riesling this white wine from Schlumberger is.","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775889543247,"sku":"11092","price":19.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/domaines-schlumberger-riesling-ls-princes-abbes_11092.webp?v=1770121058"},{"product_id":"domaines-schlumberger-gewurztraminer","title":"Domaines Schlumberger Gewürztraminer","description":"We are so happy to be able to sell Domaines Schlumberger's Alsace wines, because they are truly beautiful. This is largely due to the winery's long history. It all began when a former tannery, led by Claus Schlumberger, relocated to France. Specifically, in the town of Guebwiller, which was dominated by monks known as \"The Princes Abbés.\" Claus wasn't happy there and soon moved to Mulhouse, a free and Protestant city. There, he married his wife and had many children. One of them was Nicolas Schlumberger. He took over from his father and built a larger cellar in 1810, cultivating the finest wines on twenty hectares. This makes the Schlumberger family one of the oldest wineries in Alsace. Even today, Domaines Schlumberger's wines are still produced by the family, and we find great depth in their range.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eCompletely hand-harvested for this Gewürztraminer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n There's a great love for the Gewürztraminer grape, and the grapes come from various vineyards, primarily Bollenberg and Bux, as well as young vines from Schlumberger's Grand Cru vineyards. The vineyards have a unique climate, providing the Gewürztraminer with ample sunshine and cool breezes. This coolness is crucial for a smooth and balanced ripening process. Once ripe, the grapes are harvested entirely by hand in the early morning, minimizing the risk of oxidation and damage. The Gewürztraminer grapes are transported to the press in small crates, where the entire wine is aged on the lees. This period lasts approximately eight months, allowing the wine to develop its finesse and power.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Full and very powerful this Schlumberger Gewürztraminer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis is a complete glass of Gewürztraminer, simply a celebration. It begins the moment you open the bottle, as it releases aromas of candied, exotic fruits (passion fruit, mango, papaya, and lychee). Grab a large glass so you can swirl it vigorously, as this white Schlumberger Gewürztraminer reveals everything. It begins with the beautiful yellow color and the wonderful aroma of vanilla, banana, yellow fruit, pear, peach, and spices (candied ginger). The taste is smooth and typical of Gewürztraminer, with a lovely thick texture and abundant fruit nuances of mango, papaya, passion fruit, banana, white peach, pear, lychee, vanilla, and various spices. The finish leaves a slight tingle and some notes of honey and vanilla.","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775799693391,"sku":"11093","price":23.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/domaines-schlumberger-gewurztraminer-les-princes-abbes_11093.webp?v=1770121058"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/regio-elzas.oembed?page=2","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
