The Pinot Gris grapes come from plots in Rorschwihr and Bergham, about twenty kilometers from Colmar in Alsace. The vines are planted in dark, chalky soils.\n\n Domaine Engel is a true family business, where the third generation took over the helm in 1998, but is still supported by the second generation in day-to-day operations.\n\n\n \nThe vineyards are maintained according to organic principles. Once the grapes are ripe, they are harvested by hand. For many years, a permanent group of pickers has been hired during the harvest, who have learned to make an initial selection in the vineyard. The philosophy is that great wine is born in the vineyard, and nothing is left to chance. After the harvest, the whole bunches are pressed simultaneously. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled, low temperature. After pressing and fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the yeasts for several months to give it additional structure.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A fruity Pinot Gris\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOn the nose, this Pinot Gris offers hints of flowers, yellow and white fruit, and also subtle spice.

During harvest, he followed his father and climbed to the small family press to taste the juice. His ancestors had been cultivating grains and vines for decades, but Fernand had a clear preference for working in the vineyard. At the end of World War II, the Alsatian vineyard experienced a revival, and in 1949, the family's great wine adventure began.\n\n\n\n The grapes for this white wine come from three plots in Rorschwihr, about twenty kilometers from Colmar in Alsace. The soil here is sandy clay with a high limestone content. The vineyards are situated on a gentle slope facing south and east, creating a perfect climate.

For most wine lovers, Alsace primarily produces mildly dry white wines that are perfect for enjoying outside of meals. Almost every Alsace wine is made from a single grape variety. The most well-known are Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Blanc. Gewürztraminer is undoubtedly the most distinctive.\n\n\n\n This Gewürztraminer comes from Domaine Engel, where time-honored Alsatian traditions are combined with modern winemaking techniques. Moreover, all the grapes come from their own vineyards: three plots in Bergheim and two in Rorschwihr, about twenty kilometers from Colmar in Alsace. This results in beautiful, pure white wines.
