The Parcelle AB390 is from a special site just next to the winery in Ludes. It's 100% Meunier that was planted in the 1950's. It's now farmed organically. 2016 was the first year it was bottled as a single-vineyard. It's always been a special parcel for the family as it sits just next to the winery...

The Gutedel grape, also known as Chasselas, is a local specialty in Germany, Switzerland and Alsace. Its home turf in Germany is the tiny sub-region of Markgraflerland located within Baden, Germany's warmest growing region. It sits at the edge of the Black Forest which protects the area from...
