VINS ROUGES DE SAINT-HIPPOLYTE |
After the resumption of an ancestral family vineyard and with much of determination and will, the marketing of our production began during the years 1990. Most of our vines are at the foot of the majestic Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg. With 6 hectares of vines and in spite of the youth of the house, we produce mainly wines with High Expression and we align each year a score of vintages thanks to a keen work and to neat completions.
Among a great number of references, let us quote inter alia the range of the Old Vines, the whole of our wines of soil like the BURGREBEN or SILBERGRUB without forgetting our famous “ROUGE DE SAINT-HIPPOLYTE”. In 2003, we celebrated the birth of our last cuvée: “HARMONIE”, a table wine which is declined in white or rosy according to mood. The typicity and the quality of our vintages are regularly rewarded in various competitions and re-examined: Guide hachette, Prix d’Excellence , medals… |
