About this wine
A light-bodied, cool-climate Pinot Noir showing the fresh, juicy red-fruit character typical of Alsace. Pure notes of ripe cherry, cranberry and raspberry lead the nose, with soft, supple tannins and lively acidity carrying through to a fresh, cherry-driven finish.
For anyone who thinks they don't like red wine — this is light, chillable and closer to a juicy rosé in weight than a typical Pinot Noir.

ゲヴュルツトラミネール・グラン・クリュ・ブラン
Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Brand
WhiteGewurztraminer
From the same steep, south-facing granite Grand Cru Brand vineyard above Turckheim as the estate's Riesling bottling. A richly aromatic Gewurztraminer with a nose of Turkish delight, rose petal, lychee and warm spice, balanced by a squeeze of fresh lime — the variety's signature exotic perfume amplified by the vineyard's high ripeness and granite minerality.

Gewurztraminer Sables et Galets
WhiteGewurztraminer
Grapes selected from the sandy, gravel and pebble ("sables et galets") parcels of the Herrenweg lieu-dit near Turckheim and Wintzenheim. Fragrant rosewater and grapefruit aromas meet a hint of sweet spice, with rich, pineapple-like fruit balanced by fine structure. Pure lychee and rose flavors are underpinned by hints of spice and graphite minerality, with well-judged acidity giving lift before a rich, rounded, pleasantly pithy finish.

Pinot Gris Sables et Galets
WhitePinot Gris
Part of Cave de Turckheim's terroir range, sourced from the sandy, gravel and pebble soils ("sables et galets") around the Herrenweg lieu-dit near Turckheim and Wintzenheim — deposits swept down by melting Vosges glaciers. These soils give an elegant, aromatic bouquet: a complex nose of acacia honey, quince and warm spice, with apricot, honey and sultana richness on the palate, balanced by well-judged acidity and a pithy finish.
リースリング・グラン・クリュ・ブラン
Riesling Grand Cru Brand
WhiteRiesling
From the Grand Cru Brand vineyard — whose name derives from the German word for "fire" — a steep, south-facing granite slope above Turckheim that delivers exceptional sunshine and ripeness. A classic, dry Alsace Grand Cru Riesling: fine and elegant with pear, floral and citrus fruit on the nose, underpinned by toasty aromas and wet-gravel minerality, broadening on the palate with rich fruit and luscious, mature acidity.
