    Product description

    The renowned Becker family, whose winemaking legacy dates back to 1610, produces wines of the highest standard and, holds vineyards across five Grand Cru areas; Froehn, Schlossberg, Sonnenglanz, Praelatenberg and Schoenenberg.

    Sonnenglanz, meaning sun light in Alsatian, is well exposed with calcareous soils and perfect to grow Gewurztraminer. Aromas of exotic fruits and hints of peach, rose and Turkish delight. Ripe and juicy on the palate with sweet fruits well balanced with a refreshing acidity.

    Awards

    The aromatic nose of this wine recalls fresh Damask rose and Turkish Delight. The palate is equally fragrant, wrapping its florality around the ripe juiciness of fresh, yellow peach. Fruit sweetness is beautifully balanced with the juicy body and gentle freshness of this appetizing wine that lingers with zesty orange notes.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Jean Becker

    The Becker family’s winemaking legacy dates back to 1610 in Zellenberg (a village opposite Riquewhir), with the estate now in the hands of Jean Becker, the 13th generation. The wines produced are of the highest standard, with vineyard holdings across five Grand Cru areas. Since 1999 production has been certified organic, reinforcing their attention to detail and respect for their unique terroir. The winery came to global attention in 1988 when their Muscat Selection de Grains Noble from Grand Cru Froehn vineyard was picked at a record breaking potential alcohol level of 26 degrees.
