Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Zotzenberg, Haegi, Alsace

This Gewurztraminer from Domaine Haegi comes from the middle part of the Grand Cru Zotzenberg, and is located on the south (225 - 320m). Here the soil contains the most clay, which retains moisture well. With global warming that is very welcome of course.

The Haegi family has lived in Alsace since the 18th century. In 1949, they changed their business when Charles HAEGI came to Mittelbergheim and married his second wife Miss Marguerite Bronner, a winegrower's daughter from the village. Bernard Haegi, born in 1932, continued the work of his father Charles. He married Emmy Wittmann, a winegrower's daughter from Mittelbergheim and transformed the business into a real winery.
Their son Daniel, born in 1965, joined the family business in 1985 after completing studies in winemaking and oenology. He married Sylvie Schwartz, also from an Alsatian wine-growing family.
