| Shoenenbourg hillside is overlooking the Riquewihr village. It is situated on a steep slope, at an altitude between 265 to 380 meters. Rich of fertilising components, the soil is covered with thin stratum of silicious shingles. The quality of the soil added to a perfect south to south east orientation make it a rare and privileged area. It makes a wine rich and powerful very good for ageing. | ||
| The Riesling Rosacker |
| The soil is designated by the name of the wild rose bushes that used to border the vineyard. Located at the high limit of the Hunawihr territory (looking toward Ribeauvillé) the name of Rosacker is used as from 1483. When young the Rosacker offers slightly peppery aromas turning to more mineral flavours when it gets older which is characteristic of the cly-limestone type soils. | ||
| The Gewurztraminer Osterberg |
| Located at Ribeauvillé on steep slope hillsides, the vineyard enjoys an exceptional sunny position. The presence of cly and pebbles makes the soil particulary suitable to the growth of Gewurztraminer. It makes a rich and powerful wine but very delicate too. It is a wine for long ageing. | ||
