These vineyards are located on hillside terroirs on the sub-Vosges hills, featuring soils dating from the Triassic and Jurassic periods, composed of shell limestone, dolomite, marl, and limestone with south\/southeast exposure. The region’s semi-continental climate, characterized by warm, sunny days and cool nights, allows for slow, even ripening, preserving the grape’s natural acidity and aromatic complexity. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e100% Gewurztraminer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes are selected at maturity, then crushed and delicately pressed in a pneumatic press.
