A family-owned winery in Gueberschwihr, Alsace, founded in the 1950s by Louis and Henri Gross, and currently managed by Rémy and Vincent Gross. The estate focuses on biodynamic farming across 10 hectares of limestone and marl-limestone slopes, specializing in aromatic white wines, long-macerated "orange" wines, and sparkling Crémant d'Alsace.
The estate operates under strict biodynamic principles, focusing on natural balance in the vineyard to achieve aromatic purity. Since 2016, the domaine has specialized in skin-macerated wines (orange wines) inspired by Friuli, alongside traditional Crémant. They use spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and avoid additives.
Vincent's top maceration with fruit coming from the Goldert Grand Cru. Muscat brings the florals, Gewürz the spice, Riesling the acid. A beautiful balance. Aromatic, herbal, and full of fruit this is utterly compelling. Singing now, time will only do wonders.
The 2020 vintage underwent 28 to 35 days of skin maceration. It was fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 18 months in large oak foudres.
Nose: Intensely aromatic with notes of marmalade, candied lemon peel, orange blossom, and heady incense. You may also find hints of dried apricot, fig, and sweet spices like cinnamon.
Palate: Concentrated and structured with a textured, slightly tannic mouthfeel. It balances its power with a mineral freshness and a long, vibrant finish.
Pairing: Its structure makes it a "gastronomic wine" that pairs well with rich dishes like roast duck, goose, or spicy Asian cuisine.
Grape: Riesling, Muscat, Gewürztraminer
Region: Alsace
Alcohol: 14.5%
