Grand Cru Wines Grand Cru Kaefferkopf
It distinguishes itself by its nobility acquired from a triptych of grape varieties.
IDENTITY
The elaboration of the Grand Cru Kaefferkopf, on the hills overlooking Ammerschwihr, requires that a demanding set of specifications are followed, and that all aspects of wine-growing are taken into account. Although the blending of grape varieties is not the norm for the Grands Crus of Alsace, this practice has nevertheless been exceptionally accepted for the Grand Cru Kaefferkopf. The proportion of grape varieties used in the blend refers to ancestral practices.
This wine is composed of : 60% Gewurztraminer, 20% Riesling and 20% Pinot Gris.
WINEMAKING
