Description: Established in the small village of Wettolsheim, five kilometers West of Colmar, the Ehrhart family has been farming the diverse terroirs of Alsace since 1725. Philippe and Corinne Ehrhart farm their 25 hectares among 11 different villages with a wide variety of soils, including 4 terroirs of Grands-Crus like Hengst, Brand, Schlossberg and Goldert. All the terroirs are vinified separately to preserve the typicity of each of them. Their kids Florian and Margot joined the family estate and are now the new generation of winemakers. Lovely notes of ripe mirabelle plum and yellow apple on the nose. The palate has a delicate fine mousse with great structure. This is a lovely, dry and invigorating sparkling wine that has a hint of oxidation (maturity).
Food pairings: food-friendly, cheese, fish, meats (mostly white meats), hors d'oeuvres, etc.
