Vignerons from several generations, the J. Fritsch estate is located in Kientzheim, in the heart of Alsace. It is on this terrior of great geological diversity where they cultivate 40 different blocks of vines. Half of their vines are located in the prestigious terrior of Grand Cru Schlossberg, Furstentum and Lieu-dit ("place called") Altenberg.
Out of respect for nature, J. Fritsch uses sustainable practices in vineyard management. The harvest is exclusively handpicked and the harvest dates are decided from grape samplings to ensure the peak of ripeness and thus the best quality wines.
J. Fritsch is proud of their quality control throughout the entire management of the vineyards, from processing the grapes to ensuring the highest quality of wines they produce.

Review:
Brilliant emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of brazil nuts, creme fraiche, and kiwi and starfruit with a silky, lively, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and an effortless, engaging, medium-length watermelon, yellow apple, and clementine finish. A delicious, artfully balanced soave with a great range of fruit flavors. 91 Point Beverage Tasting Institue
