Today’s environmental and social issues are something that we care deeply about.
We are forced to ask ourselves – where would our region be today without its particular micro-climates and its complex soil structure? But equally without its people and their knowhow?

This patchwork of different terroirs, where for generations men and women have sought to work the best plots of land to fully express the character of the area, depend on a fragile and delicate balance.

As has now become clear, changes to the climate in the region (as in the rest of the world) are now affecting this balance. Add to this further intensive agricultural practice, and we start to see a worrying picture of what the future may hold.

And yet there are a number of reasons to remain optimistic…

An increasing number of producers in Alsace are pushing forward with innovative new techniques of environmental protection as well as preserving, or in some cases returning to, traditional and ancestral methods. Moreover, In Alsace, more than 20% of vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically.

These are the producers that we would like you to come and meet…

These vineyard owners and winemakers are indeed the Pride of Alsace. As a result of their talents, their attention to detail and dedication to quality, they help preserve and promote the very authenticity of this local identity – thereby protecting our landscapes, villages and way of life.
