Vinification of the Kitterlé Gewürztraminer Grand Cru from Domaines Schlumberger

The grapes for the Kitterlé Gewürztraminer Grand Cru from Domaines Schlumberger are grown in one of the most renowned vineyards in Alsace. The soil consists mainly of limestone marl and granite, which promotes the wine's distinctive mineral character. The vines thrive on steep slopes with perfect sun orientation. Here, they develop their full aromatic spectrum and reach ideal physiological ripeness.

The harvest is conducted exclusively in small parcels, by hand, and always at the optimal moment to preserve freshness and structure. The careful selection of berries guarantees the highest quality right from the raw material.

The vinification is typical for top-grade Gewürztraminer: After gentle pressing, fermentation takes place at controlled low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. This preserves the intense aromatic compounds and the natural fruit character. The wine is partly matured in large oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth. Aging on the fine lees rounds out the body and ensures a silky texture.

Thanks to the combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern cellar technology, a wine is produced that unites elegance, power, and expression at the highest level.
