Producers of wines from the Bergheim region and Alsace wine ambassadors worldwide

Maison Gustave Lorentz- Winery with the Beautiful setup in Bergheim Maison Gustave Lorentz was established in 1836 in Bergheim and has been in the winemaking business for seven generations now. Gustave Lorentz became a winegrower near the end of the 19th century, and at that time, the Alsace wines were also used as a blend in German wines. His son, Charles Lorentz, entered the winery and came up with modern and revolutionary ideas. He even developed the vineyards on the slopes of Bergheim and sourced grapes from the best growers of the region. Later on, more estates were bought, and a beautiful setup was in place to make the best wines in the region. Conversion to Organic Agriculture When Georges Lorentz took over the winery, they had 32 hectares of vineyards and sourced grapes grown on the 120 hectares of Bergheim terroir. The vineyard started the conversion to organic agriculture in 2009, and in 2012, they got the Organic certification from Ecocert. This helps them make natural wines and preserve the environment. The qualities of their wines are brought forward because of the relationship between the microclimate and soil of the region. The terroir is perfect for growing, high-quality grapes. Main Grape Varieties The staff passionately develop the vineyards in the 2 Grand Crus of Bergheim, Kanzlerberg, and Altenberg. The main grape varieties grown here include Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Muscat, and Gewurztraminer. These are used to make red, white, rose, and sparkling wines. The Lorentz family makes outstanding Riesling wines and is a great ambassador for Alsace wines worldwide. Gustave Lorentz winery also export wines to 65 countries and earn 60% of their profit from exports.

We’d highly recommend this visit to any wine lover

We absolutely loved our wine tour at Gustave Lorenz. Our guide was very responsive to all the questions that we had and we could visit both the wine cellar as well as the wine fields. Moreover, we actually bonded with the wife of the owner, as she hosted the wine tasting. As a consequence, we were able to taste several great wines and discuss them thoroughly with a knowledgeable person like herself. Finally, the winery had some lovely wines to offer, including Grand Crus, which made the visit very worthwhile. All in all, I’d rate this as a 9 out of 10, as everything was basically perfect, although sometimes our guide had to search for words, since English is not her first language. Naturally that’s only a detail, so we’d highly recommend this visit to any wine lover. Finally, with regards to Winetourism.com, I believe that booking the trip via your website was very intuitive, however I can imagine that a little extra content/information could have been useful. For instance, it would have been great to know in advance which wines (not only which grapes, but for instance which Grand Crus, including its year) were offered at the winery, as to be more prepared prior to the visit. Nonetheless, we’ll definitely keep your website in mind whenever we’d like to visit another winery, as it’s a very useful tool to bundle several wineries on a single platform.
