Winery | Schoenenbourg means 'the beautiful hill' and is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru classified vineyards in Alsace. Located north of Riquewihr, the vineyard runs along the rather steep south and south-eastern flanks of the hillside at an altitude of 280 to 380 metres above sea level. The Dopff au Moulin Schoenenbourg vineyard covers 8.8 hectares. The vines are grown in water-retaining subsoils of Keuper marl, dolomite and gypsum, which are rich in fertilising agents, overlaid with fine layers of quaternary siliceous gravel, Vosges sandstone and muschelkalk (shell-bearing limestone). Pruned according to the Guyot method with green harvests and meticulous canopy management to ensure good light penetration and airflow. |
