THE HISTORY OF OUR FAMILY WRITTEN ONCE AGAIN AMONG THE BUNCHES AND THE HEIGHTS

Geschickt is a family of winemakers from Ammerschwihr, in the heart of Alsace, run by the third and fourth generation, namely Frédéric and his young nephew Arnaud and his partner Aurélie. Since 1998 they decided to convert the 12 hectares of property first to organic farming and immediately after they worked and certified for biodynamics. Since the 2014 vintage they have been able to come out with all their wines completely natural, that is, unfiltered and without the addition of sulphites, the result of a journey that started in the vineyard and obtained after years of experimentation in the cellar. A fundamental characteristic of the company is the desire to always complete all fermentations (including malolactic): we will therefore have dry, direct wines, with natural and uncontrolled acidity, from ripe grapes and therefore also full-bodied. Certainly an expression of Alsace and its varieties that is not at all trendy. The most famous Cru of Ammerschwihr is the Grand Cru Kaefferkopf, where all the strength of the limestone soil can give its best from the vineyards of Riesling and Gewurztraminer, the two Alsatian kings. The company produces excellent Pinot blanc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot noir, in addition to the classic Cremant d'Alsace sparkling wine, made with Pinot blanc and Chardonnay.
