Values

The policy, which has been pursued by the trade house of Pfaffenheim from the date of its foundation, focuses on the quality of wine made. All the attention of winemakers is paid to vineyards, winegrowers, the high quality of equipment, customer requirements and so on.

The soils, on which the vineyards used by Pfaffenheim grow, are saturated with limestone. This  factor helps to make the wines, produced in Alsace, very fatty. The vintage is done only manually, without the use of machines.  In addition to that, the wine grape is thouroughly sorted by the sugar content.

The authentic wines made in the cellars of the House of Pfaffenheim represent the unique terroir of Alsace, which is appreciated by the gourmets and wine admirers.
