Katzenthal and it's vines

A village with its micro-climate and its different terroirs

Katzenthal or in other words "the Valley of the Cats"

 

Welcome to our little village, Katzenthal, nestled in the heart of the Alsatian vineyard.

 

Less than 6 km from Colmar "Capital of Alsace White Wines" and Kaysersberg "the French's favorite village 2017", Katzenthal is a historic wine-growing village with 25 winegrowers for 500 inhabitants.

Vines have always been cultivated here.

This is no coincidence, because the terroirs of our village are exceptional.

No less than 3 Grands Crus border our village 

- the Grand Cru Wineck Schlossberg, with its granite soils,

ideal for the Riesling grape variety.

- the Crand Cru Florimont, with its marl-limestone and stony soils,

ideal for Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris varieties

- the Grand Cru Kaefferkopf, with its granite soils,

ideal for the Pinot noir grape variety

The ruins of the Wineck castle, formerly also called Weineck or Windeck dates from the end of the 12th century, is at the origin of the current locality.

 

Famous for its vineyards, Katzenthal also benefits from a particularly favorable microclimate from Colmar.

To discover our terroirs, a multitude of walks in the heart of the vineyard will be offered to you. A forest path invites you to discover the monument of Galtz, which offers you a magnificent panorama over the Alsace and the Vosges.

JANUARY FEBRUARY

This is the most technical time, where everything begins.

We prune the vine. This period makes it possible to select the two branches   which will bear the new harvest.

Then, the cut wood must be uprooted and crushed.

In the cellar, we follow the evolution of wines with attention.

MARCH APRIL

The work in the vineyards is very physical at this time.

It consists of replacing the vine stakes and the iron wires on which the vine will grow.

It is also necessary to bend the two remaining vine shoots so that they form an arc.

 

In the cellar, this is the period when we filter the wines so that they are stable once bottled.

MAY

The vineyard grows and we disbud the vines in order to remove young shoots and those that are not useful.

It is also the time of bottling.

JULY

The trellising follows its course.

It is also necessary to trim the vines, i.e. cut the vegetation which has grown too much

AUGUST

In case of too many grapes, part of them is eliminated to obtain the best possible quality.

In the cellar, we continue bottling to make room for the future vintage.

SEPTEMBER

Harvest time finally arrives.

The seven grape varieties   are each harvested in turn according to their maturity date.

OCTOBER

The harvest ends and there begins the work of vinification.

You have to remove the pulp from the grape juice and add yeast, so that this sweet liquid turns into wine .

NOVEMBER DECEMBER

Fermentation is in full swing, and, in some years, late harvests are harvested.

Marketing is at its peak   to fill the cellars of our followers with pretty bottles for end of year partying.
