Alsace, Domaine Pierre Henri Ginglinger, Riesling, Aoc Alsace Grand Cru Hengst, Blanc
Established in the old town of Eguisheim, south of Colmar, this family estate whose origins date back to 1610 is located in a house dating back to 1684. Mathieu Ginglinger, who succeeded his father Pierre-Henri in 2003, runs the estate organically (certified in 2004). After acquiring vineyards at the southern end of the Route des Vins, he now has 15 ha, with parcels in 3 grands crus.
Presentation
The Hengst Grand Cru covers 53 hectares. Its rounded prominent hilltop overlooks the locality of Wintzenheim. The Grand Cru is located on the hillside with mainly east exposure. Its centre forms a basin like an amphitheatre. The slopes are variable: very steep in the middle of the hillside, less steep towards the top and pans out near the base. The vineyards are terraced out between 270 and 360m.
