What was your family doing in 1688?
The Ruhlmanns were planting vines, and today, they are legends in Alsace, considered to be true pioneers and masters of the craft. Today’s wine from the Grand Cru of Muenchberg, where the summit of the Ungelsberg hill stands imposingly over the Muenchberg slopes, which form a deep natural amphitheater, sweeping right around from the southwest at elevations of 850-1000 feet. Vines have been planted here (especially Riesling) on the volcanic rock and sandstone since the 12th century! They also farm these grapes organically!>p
We’re not kidding about epiphany. The gorgeous minerality, and uniquely Alsatian stone fruit and complex citrus is ah-mazing. We have a few cases to sell... Don’t miss! Perfect with your upcoming Thanksgiving feast!
