Kaefferkopf, Grand Cru vineyard in Ammerschwihr, France
Description
Kaefferkopf is a Grand Cru vineyard in the Alsace region that extends across south and east-facing slopes. The terrain varies in elevation and exposure, creating different growing conditions across the site.
History
The site was first recorded in 1338 in the documents of Pairis Abbey, showing a long tradition of wine production. Official Grand Cru status came much later, in 2007, recognizing centuries of established practice.
Culture
Local vintners grow four grape varieties that define the character of this place. They follow traditional methods visible in the cellars and on the slopes, shaping how the region produces wine today.
Practical
When visiting, wear sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing since the slopes are steep and conditions can change. The best time to explore is during drier seasons when the paths are easier to walk.
