Kaefferkopf, Grand Cru vineyard in Ammerschwihr, France
The Kaefferkopf vineyard extends over 71 hectares on east and south-facing slopes, with altitudes ranging from 230 to 350 meters above sea level.
The vineyard, first documented in 1338 in the Pairis Abbey records, received its official Grand Cru classification in 2007 after centuries of wine production.
Local vintners maintain specific traditions in wine production, focusing on four grape varieties: Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and traditional blends.
The wines require 3 to 4 years of aging or early decanting before tasting due to their reduction characteristics and complex mineral structure.
The vineyard combines four distinct geological formations: granite, limestone, marl, and clay, creating wines with pronounced mineral and fruit characteristics.
