The Altenbourg terroir is composed of gravel deposits and alluvium. The deep soils of the Kientzheim slopes - predominantly marl, limestone and sandstone - have geologically and historically proven to be perfectly suited to Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer, producing wines of great richness and concentration.
