The Story

Kaefferkopf "Cuvee Traditional"

Delicate blend with 80% to 20% Gewurztraminer and Riesling, each variety sourced from the Kaefferkopf terroir.
Its delicately spiced fruitiness makes it a wonderful wine for cocktails and receptions.

Food and wine pairings:
Ideal with spicy dishes, such as Chinese and Thai food, as well as with strong cheeses such as Blue, Roquefort, Munster.

As a wonderful testimony of historical reputation for excellence of this terroir, the single oldest Alsace wine label, of the vintage 1834, and produced by our estate, already has the mention “Kaefferkopf D’Ammerschwihr”.

The Kaefferkopf terroir was mentioned for the first time in the register of the Abbey Pairis of Ammerschwihr in 1338. It was cited numerous times in literature of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Located in the heart of the Alsace vineyard, just south of our town of Ammerschwihr, the Kaefferkopf is stretched over the hillsides of the Vosges Mountains at 240 to 320 meters of altitude. Benefiting from long hours of sunshine, it produces racy, and wines of great finesse, which are the pride and joy of estate.

The soil

  • Geology : Terroir granite and limestone marl. Rich in calcium and magnesium.
  • Orientation : Southeast and East. Area cultivated by the estate: 3 ha.
  • Grape Variety : Riesling for 1 ha, with an average yield of 40 hl / ha - Gewurztraminer for 2 ha, with an average yield of 30 hl / ha.

On the palate it is layered and has perfumed, honey, floral, tropical fruits, mineral and glycerin flavours. The finish is long, lingering, extensive, flavorful, spicy and vibrant. This wine is well-rounded and impressive. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years and decant at least 1h before tasting. I do recommend.
