Description
Chateau d’Orschwihr has a long history of producing wine, with records dating back to the 16th century. The Chateau has been in the Hartmann family since 1854, who have continued the Chateau’s winemaking traditions, and have adopted environmentally friendly and sustainable practices, including using recycled paper for their wine labels, generating their own electricity since 2011 through solar power, and refusing to use toxic chemicals in the vineyard.
Chardonnay makes up only 1% of the entire vineyard area of Alsace, and most Cremant d’Alsace is made from Pinot Blanc and aged for around 12 months before release. So when we tell you that this Cremant is made from 100% Chardonnay, and is aged for 7 years sur latte (on the lees), you know it’s something special. Chateau d’Orschwihr’s Cremant is up there with the best Champagnes: full of delicious toasty brioche, honey and dried fruit notes and fine, creamy bubbles. Dry, with only 4.2g/l of residual sugar, this is the perfect bubbly for any occasion.
