Wine Description
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.
The Kaefferkopf terroir during the fall
