Anecdotes about the domain
During the 2015 late harvest, we went back to tradition, with the horse and the plow! A return to the old days and a memorable day!!!
The domain's short story
We are Independent Winegrowers and proud of it ! Family estate above all, we are constantly looking to evolve, as much in the vineyard as in the tank. Hubert & Jacques take care of the vineyard and Pierre of the cellar. We are complementary! We work all the grape varieties with the same passion.
The winemaker's pride
The Domaine des Frères Engel is located in Orschwiller, in the Bas-Rhin, in central Alsace. At the foot of the Haut-Koenigsbourg, the village is the stronghold of this castle! In Organic Agriculture since 2014 and vintage 2022 certified Demeter. Our harvest is 100% manual. We work with all the Alsatian grape varieties: Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Muscat, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Noir; in AOC Alsace, AOC Alsace Grand Cru Praelatenberg and in AOC Crémant d'Alsace! The majority of our vines are on the slopes, with a perfect south-east exposure, a gneissic soil (quartz and mica) which brings a minerality and a beautiful freshness to our vintages.
