Situated on the double fault line of the Alsace Plain and the Valley of Munster, it possesses an impressive variety of soils and some outstanding lieux dits (named-place vineyard plots). These exceptional terroirs provide the ideal conditions for the great grape varieties of Alsace to flourish, attaining their full potential. Since the founding days of the Cave de Turckheim, we have worked together to select these terroirs and transform this heritage into a wide palette of characters in our wines. Grand Cru Brand GRAND CRU BRAND Overlooking the medieval town of Turckheim, the granitic Grand Cru Brand enjoys an exceptionally sunny aspect. It is upon this "earth of fire" that legend situates the battle between the sun and a dragon. Their combat set fire to the forested hillside and the following spring the vineyard appeared. This impressive terroir produces majestic wines of great delicacy. Grand Cru Hengst GRAND CRU HENGST Situated in Wintzenheim and stretching along a quite steep slope, the Grand Cru Hengst enjoys a south-southeast aspect. Its geological composition, consisting of Oligocene conglomerates and chalky marls, gives very heavy clayey soils which confer a solid and very robust character upon the wine. Grand Cru Sommerberg GRAND CRU SOMMERBERG This terroir occupies a very steeply sloping hillside that faces south towards the commune of Niedermorschwihr. Composed of granitic arenas it is particularly well suited to the cultivation of Riesling and Pinot Gris grapes. The terroir facilitates the production of lustrous wines that express the character of the grape varieties; robust and iridescent. 16 rue des Tuileries 68230 Turckheim 03 89 30 23 60 WINE OF ALSACE Our wines Tradition Wines Reserve Wines Specialities Terroir Wines Grands Crus Crémant d'Alsace Organic Wines Late Harvests Vin de France ACCUEIL Legal notice Conditions of Sale Conditions Jeux concours Données personnelles ACCUEIL Sitemap Espace adhérent NEWSLETTER Sign up to our Newsletter © Cave de Turckheim 2018 Tous droits réservés - Réalisation AGENCE 86 Terroir Wines Grands Crus Crémant d'Alsace Organic Wines Late Harvests Vin de France Cellar News Sale team Contact Facebook By clicking “Accept All Cookies”, you agree to the storing of cookies on your device to enhance site navigation, analyze site usage, and assist in our marketing efforts.
