Not far from the Wine Route of Alsace, at the entrance of the Munster Valley there is the Wihr-au-Val hillside. Its altitude is 500m and the exposition is South/South-West. The granite soil and the extreme conditions of grapes cultivation on the Vosges foothill enhance the subtlety and purity of Alsatian grapes.
