    Product description

    The grapes are sourced from several parcels located on clay-limestone and sandy marl hills in the Zellenberg region. Hand-harvested. Pressed directly with no added sulphur under the press, using natural yeasts for fermentation. The wine is aged on fine lees for 6-9 months, allowing it to develop complexity, with malolactic fermentation and filtration. Fine, fresh nose with floral notes of acacia. On the palate, it is elegant and concentrated, revealing fresh apricot flavours. The finish is rich and satisfying, making it a delightful wine with excellent balance.

  • 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.

    Vineyards & Wine Produced

    Alsatian noble grape varieties (Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat) are planted in the estate’s various Grand Cru vineyards located in Froehn, Schlossberg, Sonnenglanz, Praelatenberg and Schoenenberg. They also cultivates Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Sylvaner and Chasselas.  They produce wines under Alsace AOC, Alsace Grand Cru alongside some ‘Vendanges Tardives’ (late harvest) and ‘Selection des Grains Nobles’.
