Cave de Turckheim produce an extensive range of wines, from their value-for-money Cave Tradition varietal range to the wines from 3 different Grand Crus. Central to Cave de Turckheims success is their willingness to innovate; two years ago they launched the Rserve range to great acclaim, and 2006 sees the launch of the Terroir DAlsace range (formerly Lieux-Dit), a label change for their signature Grand Cru range and the launch of the Turckheim Pinot Grigio - a dry style Pinot Gris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the Vineyard\u003cbr\u003eGrapes are selected from vineyards with diverse soils - limestone, granite, gravel, marl and sandstone - which impart different characters and styles to the overall blend, and harvested by hand and machine, depending on site. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the Winery\u003cbr\u003eProduced 'traditionally' by winemaker Jean Michel Lihrmann - pneumatic pressing, temperature controlled fermentation, no fining and light filtration before bottling - all to preserve fruit and aromatic qualities and elegance.
