The story
The Gruss family has been present in Eguisheim for generations; the modern winery operation dates back to the mid-20th century. Online accounts report that family leadership has passed through several generations, with André Gruss, the winemaker, taking on key roles in the estate in recent years.
Production philosophy
Attention to the land and quality: thoughtful viticultural practices to obtain concentrated grapes and winemaking that seeks to respect the character of Alsatian terroirs. The estate produces both still wines typical of the region and sparkling wines made using the Crémant d'Alsace method, with a strong focus on balance and purity.
