Descrizione

The Pinot Blanc Alsace AOC of the Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr is an elegant white wine born in the heart of Alsace, a region renowned for its limestone hills and a continental climate ideal for this variety. This wine, produced exclusively with Pinot Blanc grapes, stands out for its freshness and finesse.

In the glass, it appears with a bright straw-yellow color, while on the nose it releases delicate aromas of green apple, pear, and light floral notes that anticipate a balanced and harmonious sip. The palate reveals good acidity supported by a soft body, with a subtle minerality that enhances the final persistence.

The traditional winemaking method, which favors fermentation in stainless steel, preserves the fruity liveliness and purity of the variety. Perfect to accompany fish dishes, light appetizers, and fresh cheeses, this Pinot Blanc best expresses the distinctive character of the Alsatian terroir.

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.
