Descrizione

The Gewurztraminer Reserve Alsace AOC from Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr is a refined expression of the famous aromatic grape variety cultivated in the renowned Alsace region of France. Characterized by an intense and complex olfactory profile, it releases enveloping aromas of lychee, roses, sweet spices, and a subtle hint of citrus. On the palate, it stands out for its elegant softness, with a balanced structure that blends freshness and a fragrant touch of sweetness, typical of the reserve. Aging in steel preserves the purity of the aromas while maintaining a natural liveliness. This Gewurztraminer pairs wonderfully with spicy dishes, such as Asian cuisine or blue cheeses, enhancing their rich flavors without overpowering them. A wine capable of transporting you on a sensory journey through the unique terroirs of Alsace, symbolizing a tradition that celebrates the elegance and aromatic power of the Gewurztraminer grape.

Winery history

The local vineyard has documented roots dating back to the 12th century. The modern cooperative was founded after World War II when local winegrowers joined forces to vinify and sell their wines. The cellar is listed in its official sources as established in 1954. Over the years the cooperative has expanded its activities — including the acquisition of a maison de négoce cited in specialized sources — and has established itself in the production of Grands Crus, Crémants and late-harvest wines.

Production philosophy

The winery states that it vinifies with respect for the diversity of the local terroirs, using only grapes from its own vineyards; it operates as a small-scale cooperative with a strong focus on the quality and typicity of its vineyard parcels, coordinated by an in-house winemaker.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located around Hunawihr and in the surrounding communes, on predominantly limestone terroirs with a geological mosaic typical of Alsace. The winery vinifies grapes from several Lieu-dit and various Grands Crus, including Rosacker, Froehn, Sporen, Schoenenbourg and Osterberg.

Awards and recognitions

Highlighted by the trade press as one of the leading cooperatives in Alsace; cited in national wine guides for several wines and for the Crémant and Grands Crus cuvées.
