Gustave Lorentz Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim 2015 (Online Special)

Organic Wine│Awarded 1 star at the Guide Hachette des Vins in 2018.

酒莊由Lorentz家族於1836年創立，坐落於阿爾薩斯的中世紀小鎮Bergheim，佔地33公頃。他們的DNA裡藏着家族的志願：在Bergheim最好的山坡上釀出最優質的葡萄酒。當中包括2個特級園，12.8公頃的Altenberg de Bergheim、1.75公頃的Kanzlerberg及其他古老的地塊(lieu-dits)。

Altenberg的特級園以粘土石灰岩為主，向南的日照和位於海拔220-320米的斜坡上，令它享有溫暖和溫帶的微氣候。極佳的風土令口感複雜，酒體飽滿集中，並伴隨清爽、細緻的芳香。
現時酒莊由第七代的Georges Lorentz掌舵。他意識到當前和未來的環境挑戰，在 2009 年轉為有機種植。2012 年開始，他們所有自家葡萄園的出品都獲得有機認證。

Maison Gustave Lorentz was founded by the Lorentz family in 1836. It owns 33 hectares of land on the hillsides of the medieval town Bergheim in the heart of the Alsace wine region. Their vision is focused and lodged in the DNA: to produce quality wines from the best slopes in Bergheim. 12.8 hectares of which are classified Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim, 1.75 hectares Grand Cru Kanzlerberg and other lieu-dits. 

The vineyard at the Grand Cru Altenberg, a clay-limestone terroir, enjoys a warm and temperate microclimate due to its south-facing exposure and the steeply slope at an altitude of 220-320 metres.  The wines are complex with a full-body and great concentration, set off by crisp, delicate aromatics.

Today, Georges Lorentz has managed the estate, seven generations later. Georges, conscious of the current and future environmental challenges, decided to convert to organic growing in 2009. All of the wines from their own vineyards have been certified organic since the 2012 vintage.
