Grand Cru Kaefferkopf spans 71.65 hectares between 230 and 350 metres above sea level, just outside the town of Ammerschwihr. A terroir of many charms, Grand Cru Kaefferkopf is renowned for the diversity of its geology and the blended wines it produces. These rare nectars are rich, nuanced and endlessly complex.
The deep and heavy soil of this terroir is blessed with finer elements such as clay and silt. They provide the wines with structure and complexity. They also contribute to our perception of minerality in the wines, an expression of the terroir that takes precedence here over varietal character.
Primarily planted with Gewurztraminer, the estate also has plots of Riesling and Pinot Gris. Grand Cru Kaefferkopf is often a blend of all three of these noble varieties.
The wines of Kaefferkopf are powerful, full-bodied and complex. Regardless of the final blend, Grand Cru Kaefferkopf has an unmistakeable personality: a distinguished, expressive bouquet and a well-balanced, elegant sensation on the palate.
