Gustave Lorentz is located in the village of Bergheim in Alsace, known for its quality wines. In 2015 they inaugurated their new and modern cellar, a great investment to further improve the quality of the wines. Although the company is very modern, it still has 33 old wooden barrels of 1,400 to 10,100 liters each, some of which are more than 100 years old. Storing the wine in this wood does not obtain the toasted and vanilla characteristics typical of new wood but a careful supply of oxygen through the pores of the wood, a detail that contributes to the complexity of the wines. Gustave Lorentz owns 33 Ha of vineyards, all certified organically, but also buys grapes from another 100 Ha. The grapes purchased come from long-term contract growers around the village of Bergheim. Gustave Lorentz checks that the vineyards are managed according to their indications, furthermore the harvest is carried out only by hand and each vineyard and grape variety is vinified separately to guarantee the quality of the product in the bottle.
