Rosé and red wines of Alsace

Red wines from Alsace are exclusively produced from Pinot Noir. But even if all over the region we produce AOC Alsace Pinot Noir, there are 2 villages that distinguish from the rest thanks to the quality of their red grapes. Those villages enjoy the popularity of a different appellation “Rouge de Saint-Hippolyte” and “Rouge d’Ottrott”.
In Saint-Hippolyte, red wines are exclusively planted in higher altitud, right under the known Château du Haut Koenigsbourg. This red wine benefits from less volume harvested per hectare in order to underline the typical fruity flavours of Pinot Noir.
Our red wines are harvested by hand, and after taking out the steams, we dpo a maceration from 8 to 15 days. A part of this production is aged in barrels and the other in stainless steel tanks.
