Preserving the Land and Crafting Exceptional Wines

Henri Schoenheitz carries on his father's legacy at Vins Schoenheitz, nestled in the picturesque Munster Valley. This vineyard has a rich history, but it faced significant challenges, especially after the devastation of World War II. Henri senior dedicated himself to restoring the land, transforming it into a prime location for viticulture. The steep slopes of the vineyard present their own set of challenges, but since the 1980s, Henri and his wife Dominique have skillfully managed the estate, both trained in the art of winemaking.

A Diverse Selection of Wines

Vins Schoenheitz spans 17 hectares across two prestigious appellations: Alsace and Crémant d’Alsace. The vineyard's granite soil and abundant sunshine contribute to the exceptional quality of the grapes. Committed to sustainable practices, Henri minimizes chemical use, focusing on varietals such as Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Noir. A unique aspect of the winery is its four lieux-dits—Linsenberg, Holder, Herrenreben, and Val Saint-Grégoire—each with its own distinct terroir and heritage vines, producing truly unique wines.

Sparkling Wines and Oak-Aged Delights

On the lower slopes, Henri cultivates Pinot Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc for their sparkling wines. Additionally, the winery offers two remarkable dry wines: Tokade, a Pinot Gris aged in oak barrels, and Audace, a Riesling aged in acacia barrels. Visitors are welcome to enjoy tastings and participate in various activities at Vins Schoenheitz, making it a delightful stop for wine enthusiasts.

An excellent wine tasting . Our host had great knowledge and communication skills. There was no rush whatsoever. She clearly was interested in our comments, allowed us to pick the wines we wanted to taste. She listened to our feedback and then recommended other wines I probably would not have gone for. I recommend that you visit if you are in the area you will not be disappointed.

Venus with friends for a wine/cheese pairing tasting. The owner of the place takes the time to explain each of his wines passionately and excitingly, all in a relaxed atmosphere. We couldn't leave empty-handed! Thanks again for the welcome and your kindness.

We tasted the house wines. Lucia explains perfectly the notes of her different wines and the possible gastronomic combinations. We had a lovely time and took home some delicacies. We can highly recommend this independent winery!

Incredibly passionate about their terroir and their production. Winegrowers who know how to take their time with their visitors to bring, to each throat, a little more flavor and substance. Bravo for this work I recommend

We discovered this wine merchant during our visit to the Versant du Soleil farm in Hohrod. Their Gewürztraminer is really very good, very fruity. It was therefore unthinkable to return to the south without buying some. The welcome in the shop was also very friendly. I can therefore recommend this address without hesitation.

Thanks to a wine tasted at the restaurant LA PLACE in Munster, we made a small detour to buy some before leaving Alsace. The lady who received us and advised us was very kind and professional. Thank you for your welcome and the quality of your wines.
