Domaine Rohrer, located in the picturesque region of Alsace, is a true gem that is waiting to be discovered by wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs. With a history dating back eight generations, the Rohrer family has been producing exceptional wines that showcase the unique terroir of Alsace.
Nestled in the northern part of the region, in the village of Mittelbergheim, Domaine Rohrer is currently led by the talented and young Ludovic Rohrer. The family's eight hectares of vineyards are farmed using organic and biodynamic methods, with a deep respect for the land and its natural processes.
The diversity of Alsace's terroirs is reflected in the different villages where the Rohrer family's vineyards are located. From the silty sand over marl in Eichoffen, to the powerful Riesling on grey marls and limestone in Mittelbergheim, each village produces unique varietals and expressions of terroir. The family's commitment to sustainable farming has allowed their wines to truly express the full potential of their terroirs, resulting in wines of exceptional purity and complexity.
At Domaine Rohrer, traditional winemaking techniques are combined with modern expertise to produce wines that are truly a reflection of their terroir. The wines are aged in old Alsacian oak foudres, with minimal intervention and no filtration. Only a small amount of sulphur is added to the wines with residual sugar, ensuring their stability while maintaining their natural integrity.
The care and attention put into every aspect of the winemaking process is evident in the outstanding quality of Domaine Rohrer's wines. From the multi-vintage blend 'Esch Hab Di Garn', meaning 'I love you' in the local Alsacian dialect, to the dry and powerful Riesling and the complex and aromatic Gewurztraminer, each wine is a true expression of its terroir.
One of their standout wines is the 'Hors Piste', a skin contact wine made from Pinot Gris or Gewurztraminer. With its incredible texture and defined flavors, this wine is a must-try for any wine lover. And for those who prefer red wine, the 'Nouvelle Lune', a fresh and vibrant Pinot Noir aged in old barrels, offers a delightful burst of energy and flavor.
In the words of the Rohrer family, their wines are a true expression of their love for the land and their passion for winemaking. With every sip, you can taste the purity, honesty, and generosity that goes into each bottle. So why not raise a glass and say 'Esch Hab Di Garn' to Domaine Rohrer, a producer that truly embodies the best of Alsace wines.
