The Ehrhart family has been farming the diverse terroirs of Alsace since 1725. Based in the village of Wettolsheim, five kilometers west of Colmar, Margot and Florian Ehrhart are now taking over the winery with new and modern ideas.
They farms their 24 hectares among 11 communes within the Haut-Rhin.
Sustainable, organic and biodynamic farming their vineyards are Demeter certified.
Among their holdings are four Grand Crus terroirs: Hengst, Brand, Goldert and Schlossberg.
The familly believe that the incredible diversity of their terroirs necessitates separate vinifications for each parcel of land.
All of the grapes are hand harvested, gently pressed and the fermentations are made traditionally only with native yeasts. They allow the wines to rest on their lees and stir them twice a month for 6 to 8 months. Given the incredible diversity of terroirs from granite to limestone to sand, and slow vinifications, the finished wines are abundant in opulent aromatics yet are chiseled with a striking minerality and clean acidity.
