The heritage The vineyard measures 14 hectares, 1.9 of which are located in the Grand Cru Brand of Turckheim and 4 in that portion of the Sommerberg Grand Cru (28.36), which lies in the commune of residence of the cellar.
The vast property of vineyard possessed in this pendant Cru led the Boxler family to winemaking and marketing four selections of Riesling's parcellars, in respect for the different soil and climate conditions which exist in the various sectors. The vinifications are classic and see the use of steel and barrels of wood for the whites, steel and barrique for the reds. Medium circulation is around 60,000 bottles a year. Read more
